Yeah I agree, firing a pilot without hearing his side of the story is extremely risky for management, especially this day in age. To me it sounds like this captain had an established history and CAL was looking for a reason to go after him. Management is incredibly stupid if they just fired him without an investigation especially in this situation; CAL will probably get sued for it.

I can't wait until someone gives me a hard time for doing so.

That red coat should be ashamed of himself.
As for the CAL Chief Pilot, he sounds like one of those political commanders we all know who do not back his soldiers 100% under his command but only uses them to advance his career. I, for one, am glad I am not at CAL. I can not in good consicience work for an airline that disrespects my fellow soldiers that way.

I was jump seating on Frontier out of Denver the other day and when the gate agent announced boarding she invited Summit, Ascent (their frequent fliers), and ALL ACTIVE DUTY MILITARY PERSONNEL to board first. I was impressed by that small gesture. It also lets everyone in the terminal know what Frontier's "official" position towards people serving in the military is.
Kudos to an airline that still cares. I wish in this industry companies like this would thrive and prosper. Down with the nastiness of inept Chief Pilots and managment.

I know this is "Monday Morning" talk here, but with an agent bringing up such a fuss, why not depart and upgrade the involved pax when the doors are closed? (I understand this is not the point--this agent is a complete butt-head). But he/she would've never been the wiser.
