The most damning aspect of it is that (AFAIK) the "Captain" is still employed, albeit in the other seat

I am further told that the crew of the 767 were unaware, and were not (of course, as it was all "OK" ) made aware by the FR crew, of the "possible" collision. Given the "sue them for all they are worth" mentality on the West side of the pond, I would have thought some enterprising Lawyer could cobble up an excellent case for sueing the hell out of either Ms Capt &/or Ryanair.
Never mind the risk to ones own aircraft, what a liberty to decide "sod it the other guy has to take the same chance I am taking" . Sorry, but that is criminal negligence, + endangering another aircraft, pure & simple.
