Did your colleague make his mistake (we've all made mistakes) because he didn't bother to read the manuals or the SOP, or because he was reading the newspaper when the mission was being explained?
Did he then go to the media and say how chaotic and frightening it was?
Did he abdicate responsibility for his own safety and the safety of others?
Did he go straight to Money Grabbers 4 U to see how much he could screw out of the system?
Everyone makes mistakes. Some learn from them, and so safety proceedures evolve. Hey, maybe even passenger briefings.
Some seem determined never to learn.....
