What's missing on this thread is whether Alaska Airlines even fired the guy. Airlines are a type of company that generally does things by the book. Landing that plane cost a lot of money so I won't be surprised if it costs him his job. But he will have access to a formal termination procedure and appeal. And get severance pay if he's been there long enough. A majority of blue-collar workers don't have these benefits anymore.
The real problem with laissez-faire capitalism is that its stability must predicate on unlimited economic growth. But we're gonna have bosses one way or another and bosses will always be privileged, living better than others do, sometimes even living while others die. It's called "famine never reaches the rulers" and held true long before the private property state came into being.
