"The captain has almost limitless authority when the doors are closed. He is allowed to arrest people, write fines and even take the will of a dying passenger"
I talked to a guy that flies for a regional. He said lately they been trying to stick it to the airline. The goal is either to get more money from management or fail the airline.
That's about as irrational and infantile as it gets. If they can afford to fail the airline then they can afford to quit and work someplace they like better.
