Yeah really, what's he gonna do now? You couldn't even use him in a Long John Silver's commercial.

I do have to admit, I never knew they were serious about the captain going down with the ship.

That's only if there is a question that all aboard are not safely off the vessel. This weasel (and a lot of the crew as well) acted with cowardice, IMO. No excuse is adequate for their actions. Ship 'em off to Elba!

:devilgrin:
 
put them on a boat around Somolia
 
Now you're being hard on the guy. Remember, he accidentally slipped and fell into the lifeboat. :banana:

Sad fact about it is he WOULDN'T have gone down with the ship. I've always wondered what I would do in a real intense situation like that, but no way in ......you know, down there, would I have gotten off that ship without everybody else that I could save. What a putz!!! :wall:
 
They played the one radio transmission between him and the coast guard
coast guard: "You abandoned ship?!"
capt.: "I did not "abandon ship". It was going down so I got off."
Now this audio was caught during the event, not later, after he had a chance to make up lame excuses.
Hmmm... last time I checked, getting off a sinking ship is generally called "abandoning".
