I agree with Qots.
My job is to fly the plane. I have not gone through the hours and days of touchy-feely training that the airline conflict officers have been through. I leave all that work up to them.
I don’t move bags from the cart to the cargo bin.
I don’t fix a failed igniter.
I don’t fuel the airplane.
I fly the plane. When the airplane is ready to leave, let me know and I’ll do my job.

It's 2018, in this climate there is no reason for any pilot ever to leave his seat to deal with a passenger on the ground. It's not our job, it's not our responsibility and we certainly aren't trained to. There are however people whom are and they should be the ones that deal with these things.

From: In the corner using a lampshade as a hat.
Some pilots like the internet exposure though.

Any thoughts on how this could bode for one's career? I'm personally not criticizing this guy but it doesn't seem wise.

You will also find redcoats only at the larger domestic stations.

And then you'll end up on YouTube.

He is correct and you are correct. CA does have final decision, but the CRO should be called BEFORE CA makes final decision.

I thought the captain handled himself well here. The captain is the inflight security coordinator not the CRO, and if she wants to fly, must obey orders delegated from him. He's simply giving her a stern warning if she wants to continue on the flight, which she was allowed to. Total nothing-burger...

So when there's an issue with a passenger at the gate. It's the Captain's job to go deal with the passenger directly? I don't know about you, but I can still have the rest of my crew involved, along with having a passenger removed, without leaving my seat. This is why there are GSC (at the gate) and supervisors to deal with passengers at the gate. You can still be a Captain and having the final say if a passenger stays on or get off, but confronting the passengers directly is something I wouldn't do.

Btw I have zero issue with this captain’s words and I have no idea why it became a race issue. I can tell you he wouldn’t be on the Internet if he hadn’t gone back there.
