« on: October 16, 2012, 07:32:28 AM »"Francesco Schettino, the captain of the Costa Concordia, has launched legal action to get his job back, nine months after the luxury cruise liner capsized with the loss of 32 lives.
Captain Francesco Schettino is also claiming back pay, after it emerged that he had been dismissed by Costa Cruises, the company that owns the Concordia, in July.
"Costa Crociere confirms that it has concluded the disciplinary procedure against Schettino, following the sinking of the Costa Concordia, ordering his dismissal," the company said in a statement."

If they do reinstate him as a captain I can only wonder what that would do to the image of any of the other captains as well as the stock price.
Would anyone feel comfortable sailing with someone like that.
