Problem:
disruptive person onboard.
Solution:
diversion, offloading of said disruptive person.
Costs:
one hour delay on arrival plus handling cost at diversion airport.
Benefits:
safe and smooth remaining flight.
I would say much ado about nothing.
Pushing the requested documents under the door constitutes disruptive behavior justifying a diversion and all the inconvenience and expense that necessarily entails, just to offload the offending document pusher? Tell me you are kidding, right? Some contributors to this thread seem to have completely lost all sense of proportion, faced with prima facie evidence that one of their peers may have similarly completely lost it while exercising the privileges of command. Disturbingly many appear to be offering their opinion absolving the captain's behavior, as justified by their own outmoded interpretation of the rights and privileges of command sans the equally important responsibilities.
Again, no way to run an airline.
