It was alleged earlier in this thread the captain was on extended sick leave. Perhaps he needs another extended period of sick leave until his 65th birthday. Who knows, perhaps this guy was a time bomb waiting to explode and the Relief and First Officers were either afraid to disagree with this nut job, or just happy to see this particular legend in his own mind off loaded too.
Could you imagine if this wonder boy was carrying a piece as a FFDO? I would hate to imagine the consequences when the Purser brought the Gen Dec into the cockpit.
