I can see why people are treating this lightly, but isn't this pretty major?

A diversion costs big bucks. The purser will be stranded. The pax/crew will have been delayed. The plane won't be available for its next flight (if relevant).

Unless the purser was about to stab the pilot or something (did the police attend in Miami?) then surely the pilot is going to be in some very hot water?
