Yet - they rehired him..... again.

I've recently added my name to the DNF list (not that there's an official DNF list here) because of his irrational behavior in the cockpit.

But, that's a story for another thread.......

Regarding the posted example: I'm with those who said "either they go, or I go". It's a Safety issue. Period.`
My sim partner in training was like this. His 14K hours to mine seemed to entitle him to putting me down and actually smacking my hand. He left our company before finishing training though. Evidently he's too good of a pilot for us (or he just didn't like procedures??!?).

I also wanted to add that the sim instructor called us BOTH out on this because, when he did that, I told him while we were flying in the sim not to hit me in the hand again. Was that an out of line request??
