“[he argued] he committed no wrongdoing because he believed coast guard vessels should wait to be tasked before responding to a distress call. "
Absolutely shocking. Goes against everything I ever learned on the water when I was out fishing with my dad.
If you hear a distress call on the radio that means it is near you... you drop everything, and you help.
For this guy... a captain in the Coast Guard!!... to “wait for instructions” is beyond the pale.
Seconds are life on the ocean.
Smug dude looks like an entitled ass and a coward….
Glad he was fired.

I wonder how many teenage lives could be saved (along with hundreds if not thousands of dollars in travel costs) if Alberta and Canada had a functioning bus/rail intercity public transport system.
But let's not do that... it might upset some car company lobbyist. Best to put 17 year-olds on icy Alberta highways at night after hockey practice.
