What's up with XJT sending these poor passengers to MSP on the exact same airplane? If they were that concerned they would have sent a new plane up there that was in acceptable condition. I don't think XJT did the right thing. I think they underestimated the whole situation and didn't think it a big deal until the media got a hold of it.
It all comes down to captain's ultimate PIC authority. That is it. PERIOD. The end.
