Well said NWA320 We should all be operating in a safe maner and according to the rules ... In the other hand, It would be more appreciated from the side of the manager to approach the crew and confront them right at the spot instead of turned them to the company and the feds probably costing them their careers. He had the authority and responsability to dont let the flight depart the gate but he opted to let it go. And I dont want to take out responsabilities from the crew; who did not act in a resposable way at all.

Lets all remember our main mission as a pilots is to fligth in the most safly way our passengers from point A to B and that particular day crew was not proffessional enough to do it.

In an additional note, the permanent bid came out. Best of the luck to all of you
