In PIE we all have the same "no fly list". There are even a few senior guys who are on borrowed time.
Your facts are all wrong and since when does CFR make those sorts of decisions for an aircrew?
God forbid you were faced with an emergency and when called to answer for yourself stated, "but CFR told me not to!", or "I ignored the flight attendants because they're all known, paranoid people who intentionally try to get out of working that day!"
So see? I just saved your job. You're welcome.
By the way, from my discussions with him, and in reading about his ordeal, the reason he and the FO turned off on the taxiway was so they could taxi back to the gate. The evacuation order came only after the CFR team said there was smoke coming from the airplane, then went MIA and never answered another radio call.
So, please do us all a favor: try not to be so critical of your bros when you clearly don't know what you're talking about.
And with the number of guys that seem to have made your list as jerks, trolls and incompetent pilots that you've deemed still lucky enough to be here, I have no doubt that you'll be settling the score once you make management- that's how they like it here.
