Well said Carl.

People... at the end of the day if management wants to manage an errant captain off the property... they will... even as the Union turns their head as one of their own is sacrificed... or for a lack of a better term... whacked... nothing personal... it just business.

Remember captains both current and future... regardless of what the courts decide or the view or management... the one who had the keys to the jet is the one who is responsible for the safety of carriage of passengers, crew, passengers and cargo.

And if an accident that arises out of the necessity by the captain to be a company man to complete the mission??? well you all figure it out how the skipper will be regarded when he/she has their day in court by both management and his representatives.
