I don't think that makes him an asshole... just kind of negligent

Plus it's a movie based on a person, it doesn't have to be 100% accurate
This is just what the crew members suing have been saying:

Crew advises not to sail too close to coast due to numerous attacks
Over 3 week period 16 attacks happened
Captain received 7 email warnings of pirate attacks around the region
Continued to sail within 200 miles off the coast
Crew charts all attacks and presents to Captain - they were ignored
During first contact, the Captain refused to discontinue a fire drill, as they should all be in their pirate stations

Seems asshole-ish too me, endangering the lives of the crew.

But then again, we have to take everything with a grain of salt.

sidenote: crew is suing
