Those were some of worst excuses I’ve ever heard. I think he probably should have already retired anyway. It doesn’t seem like he had any interest in actually doing his job anymore.
Idk, guy I used to work with said he was late to work once because the cops picked him up at a bus stop saying he matched the description of someone who robbed a bank that morning.
He lived 4 blocks from site, not large blocks, start time is 7 and he got in at 7:45…tell me what bank is open at 7am to be robbed in the first place.
Still Captain Dingledorf over here has some pretty piss-poor excuses.
Then implement an annual cognitive function test for all captains. Soon as someone doesn’t hit the required metric on a retest medically retire them.
This is a job where mental flexibility and quick decision making could literally be life and death, if the person in charge of the boat isn’t able to cut it then get them out.
This is a clear case of old man tunnel vision thinking. Mental rigidity is a clear sign of aging’s cognitive decline. He is way past his prime. He is being railroaded, for a damn good reason.

Age 73, why was he even still on the job? Are we letting retiree aged people have all the jobs now?
Yes, there is no maximum age for a job, no mandatory retirement age, that’s age discrimination.
There should be a competency clause for people who are old enough for CPP payments.
Absolutely. Performance or safety metrics. But it can’t be based on age.

Well yeah, but… When people’s lives are at stake, things change. It’s why we geck the elderly more when they want to drive a car, de example
Well, they have to eat and they will never land a new job, so they’re stuck making do.
