.. -- will the public be
willing to buy tickets on the carrier who hires a pilot involved in
this incident?

The public doesn't know who's flying the plane, and beyond superficial lip

but when it comes time to book the trip to Disney, or Aunt Myrtle's 90th
birthday, whoever sells the cheapest seat is the winner.
