Not trying to pick nits, but the Captain has THE say, not A say as to who stays on the plane. As for “he probably doesn’t have a duty...” that’s where our views diverge. The FOM is black and white. Take care.

This is one of those cases where you may win the battle and lose the war.

Just don’t go back there. It’s stupid as all hell.

I have questions about the decision making capability of any pilot who will go back and get involved personally. It’s so incredibly stupid

Yes, he has THE say, no grey area there.

I suppose FOM's might differ.

Even when your company manual requires it?

No manual I have ever seen requires any pilot to go and insert themselves in stupid situations.

You make the decisions, and guess what-the gate agent, or FAs, who whom the hell ever is actually trained to deal with irate idiots will go and deal with them.

If you step back there to do it yourself, you are the idiot-and you will soon be plastered all over social media advertising that fact. Plus, you will get a whole bunch of bad publicity for the airline.... Gee, thanks.

God. Some people are just always searching for something stupid to go ahead and jump into.
