What that guy did would be an easy way to get fired at both the new legacy airline and the regional he worked at.
This story has been recycled a lot, but actually happened (I flew with people who were there when it did). Supposedly he lost his job offer, but did end up at a major eventually.

It probably happened more than once back in the day.
