Actually what is surprising is that he lost his seat given that a certain TC managed to keep his ratings after the ORD cargo fire debacle. What is worse - exceeding a limitation of the aircraft and not reporting it or skipping an item in an emergency checklist to satisfy the commercial side of the operation?

The individual concerned does still in fact work for CX.
No, he does not. I have it on very good authority that he has retired.
However, I agree that the case of a TC keeping his rating is of far more interest - and concern.

If he has retired, then why is the individual working in June??
Whether they get fired, demoted, or retire, what difference does it make in the grander scheme of things?

The ORD fire was handled as best was thought possible at the moment. The limitation exceedence was small I believe. I believe it was said that the step in the emergency checklist was not significant.
As an airline, we still have a lot of pilots with the misconception that commercial comes in front of safety. This will work great until it doesn't, at which point we will have one of those accidents people discuss years later in every CRM course across the industry.
The fact this still exists at such a major airline tells you how broken the internal workings are.

Uh, wrong. It was f*cked up, plain and simple.

I'm not familiar with the Boeing AutoBrake system, but doesn't each AB setting give a constant deceleration independent of reverse selection (reverse, in 'normal' ops will just affect the brake temperature?).
