Please try reformatting the above paragraph. What the "F" are you talking about? Where did I ever say we should treat this "Capt. Happy" with political correctness or kid gloves? The point of my original post was to illustrate there might have been more going on behind the scenes than just someone who has a full-time attitude problem. (80kts brought light to the situation.)

Really, I don't have issue with the Captain facing the consequences of his action(s). I just don't see the point of dwelling on it almost two years later?
TOTD material to re-post something that happened that long ago? Poss-probably!
