Interestingly at the beginning of the tape he corrected Southwest for the very same thing but told him to continue on
 
The average "Joe" isn't going to care too much about this on CNN. However, I'm willing to bet that both the First Officer and the Captain are doing the carpet dance over this since it has gone viral. At the very least, I'm betting a closed door talk is transpiring.

This is the perfect reminder that we are professionals under public scrutiny at all times.
 
I would give the Capt. a chance to explain himself. Maybe he's going through a divorce, and the delayed CLT roundtrip was preventing him from getting back home earlier to try and salvage a marriage? Or he lost a family member?

Maybe some compassion to see if the guy is going through some difficult events in his personal life?

Either way, I'm sure he's already learned some valuable lessons.
 
The captain can (and probably will be) violated for sterile cockpit...we had a guy several years ago with a stuck mike get violated for talking...I'm sure the kindler gentler FAA will say that yelling at the controller was not safety of flight related...poor FO...
