I could understand a few weeks off and a telling off, but to out right dismiss him seems somewhat over the top!

It's always a risk when doing un-needed maneuvers i.e. victory passes. What if, during one's roll over the airfield, his controls fail. He'd plunge to the airfield, killing himself and in bad case, others too. |
Not his fault, the systems on board the aircraft failed. A highly unlikely scenario since there are multiple redundancy systems installed on modern commercial jets. We are talking about one of their most experianced pilots here too, I think hes well up to flying something that low. :p |
Yes, there are redundancy instruments, but at 28 feet, it'd take a split second for the aircraft to hit the ground, rather than having a several thousand foot cushion as the instruments were likely designed for.
