Exactly: it's Carl's call. Carl and this guy's F/O. Carl chose to post it on APC, so I suppose he already decided not to call Pro-Standards.

Some things rise to the point of requiring calls to Pro Standards, or even the Company. These are handled privately, out of respect for everyone involved, with the pilot being identified so that he may be counseled. Some things merely make for good conversation. You handle those in public, over a beer, or over the internet, without identifying the individual. He'll figure out he's a douche-bag in due time, when someone tells him the story over a beer.

So maybe you gentlemen of the jury simply enjoy the humor in the story, and reserve further judgment for the people that actually were involved. If you witness something that you think diserves a phone call, then by all means you go for the phone, and not the keyboard.
