The PIC/Capt wanted another alternate. The PIC/Capt and dispatcher didn't agree on the alternate. Chief pilot ( loose term in this case) and dispatcher choose a different alternate . The Chief pilot appears to be lacking a spine.
ABX is attempting intimidation via termination ( kill one and a thousand will follow ) to override PIC/Captains authority.
