I'm also of the opinion that there is much, much more to this incident that has not been made public. Was the threat with the gun direct or just feared because it was in the cockpit? Was the Captain one of those that was opposed in general to the FFDO program? Had the Captain been shagging the FOs wife? Had the FO been shagging the Captain's wife?
Disagreements between pilots that are not professionally and respectfully resolved require that BOTH want to argue. I'm thinking, not only a weirdo FO, but also a weirdo Captain. I, as have all of us, flown with both types.
