His instructions in private to me were that I was to fix that crew as he didn't want to hear of any more incidents.

These are the most dangerous people in life and at the workplace. The arrogance, bravado and ego only adds to their already scary level of ineptitude because they are in fact delusional about their abilities. If it only affected them, hey, no harm no foul. But when others depend on them, it's at these moments you pray other safeguards are in place to prevent disaster.
