Jeff,

One, I don't know this person.  But two, I think you might be being a bit
premature and harsh here.

I don't know what a IV handles like with a window out but clearly it's
flyable.  In fact this poor guy may have more time in that configuration
than any of us do (or want to)!

I would first believe that he found the plane to be stable sans window and
flew it back at low speed and not in the flight levels back home.  Barring
other information to the contrary, I don't see anything blatantly dangerous
or lacking in judgment here.
