There is a fine line between thinking what he did was amusing, or in some way kewl, without ever wanting to emulate his behavior. When he did it, he knew he was tossing his career, ok, he's forgotten that since then, but there is something in saying "fuck the consequences, I'm pissed and I'm outta here". I wouldn't hire him, but, at some level, it didn't suck.

I would be much more likely to think that if he hadn't (at best) inconvenienced lots of innocent bystanders with his method of quitting, or (at worst) recklessly endangered them, which also makes me think he *didn't* realize he was tossing his career because the whole thing doesn't seem that well thought out.

If he had thought it out first he would have stopped at the whole "I'd be inconvencing a lot of innocent bystanders" thing.

So he didn't stop to think about it it, or did and just didn't care. Does it matter which one is worse?

On my end, I found it amusing until I did stop to think it through, then I come back to "yeah, that sucks"

Ir's so easy to get passengers thrown off / arrested these days. I was surprised he didn't just get the passenger who was refusing to obey instructions thrown off the plane, even before being hit in the head with the passenger's luggage.

Probably because it happened on arrival. It was already at it's destination.
