Why would a guy not officially trained in or signed off for taxi decide it was time to change seats and taxi? The emergency was declared, everyone was safe, but why expose oneself to further risk and potential federal action?
Oh yeah, they gotta meet their connections.
He (or she) was trained in the right seat and blessed to operate in the right seat, what harm is there in asking for a tow?
He did take command: he decided that since he either had insufficient training or was not authorized to taxi, he should ask for a tow. I'm sure if there had been a fire on board, he would have taken action, but with everything safe, why push it?
But then I am sure he was not the stud you are.
