Believe it or not, out of all of the say that a captain has had stripped from them over the course of time in this industry, it's one of the decisions that a captain still has. What the captain did with that non rev that was hopping a ride could be seen in two ways: right or wrong. I'm not saying that I would've done the same, I'm just saying that based on how the whole situation went down, I can understand why he refused her a ride. Call it what you want. I don't know about your company but companies that I have worked for say nothing about "non rev" policies. Perhaps you should look that up while you're at it.
