You cannot expect to be so awful to so many in domestic and professional contact for so long without having it backfire on you somehow.
Maybe this was merely the final straw. Perhaps severe on CX's part but what alternative was there? How the hoardes would have bleated hypocracy if something less was done.
Before you potentially consider suing for 'damage to reputation' etc perhaps a reassessment of how you treat others is in order.

Alright ladies & gents, step right up, here is 'the' video you are looking for. Seems a local Seattle news station got a copy & used to report the incident.
Yee Ha!!

ALR/Karma, you may have misunderstood that reference was referring to the Co Pilot who it appears was the innocent caught in between he Chief and the clapping CEO. I reckon he has a good case regarding his belief that it was an authorised fly-by and his punishment therefore is unfair. They AOA should look into it for him.

What's all the hype about?? Bad publisity. It caused more of a story after they fired him. got very little comment on youtube. As soon as they turned it into a D & g it became big. Bunch of sw1ne5 don't know how to do damage control. As was crearly showed with the 49ers.
Lets hope NR is next

CXtreme ,
I could not agree more. These so called managers should have the brains to know that situations like this one are better forgotten about quickly and quietly with a resolve to prevent it happening again rather than have it all over the international press by sacking their Chief Pilot (what were they thinking?) Is this what Swires are expecting from them? Is this why they get their bonuses? I think not !

Good luck Ian
I met Ian last year at the Aviator.
I can only say I was awed. Such a nice, decent and intelligent guy.
I am sure he perfectly new what he was doing.
As well as the the bloke sitting in the RHS.
Such a pity the whole thing was blown out of perspective by the press!!!
I guess these days one can't have a decent shag on the beach for fear of some jerk with a high-tech phone selling it after to the press as an amateur video.
And shame to CX for the stupid reaction. They put up for years with it and couldn't keep their **** together in front of the press.
I hope, Ian, you enjoyed it and you are smiling at all the suckers.
Good luck
