Pretty sad story:
http://savvystews.com/2015/11/allegi...cuation-order/

Quote:
A pilot who ordered an emergency evacuation after smoke was detected coming from one of the jet’s engines is suing Allegiant Air for firing him.

The 43-year-old pilot says Allegiant is putting profits above safety. Allegiant says the evacuation was unnecessary and put passengers at risk – several were injured sliding down inflatable escape chutes.
The pilot made the proper judgement call, based on what he thought was the safest thing to do at the time.

What will happen next time when a pilot second guesses himself in a similar situation, because he's fearful of what his company might do to him.
