Hmm, with gossip flying around like that, it's not going to be long before Captain X's name is made public before it should be...plhought wrote:5x5 wrote:...I am amazed that this discussion is still ongoing...You should remind your co-workers (I am assuming here you work for 'em...sorry if you don't) the above. I overheard two FA's talking about it in YVR last night. They basically identified the guy (first name only) with a host of detail about his personal & professional life. Of course it's rude eavesdropping on my part...but come on - your employee group should be smarter than that. That's assuming anything they were saying was true - which could be absolute BS.photofly wrote:The removal from duty is sensible now the matter is public to avoid whispers among passengers about is this that pilot or FA.
Someone earlier mentioned that the complainant should have been fired for insubordination - I disagree: if the profane comment was in reply to a job-related request, "Smith - your turn on the snack trolley " " Go f@ck yourself, Jones, you do it!" and that was an ongoing pattern, then fair enough, time to seek new employment. However, the insubordination ( by the account given) seems to have resulted from frustration over a slow process around a fairly serious event, and thus, while regrettable, is understandable/excusable.
