1)Simplest and most logical of two theories is usually the correct one
2)Since only reasonable legal reason to divert is that the purser was a threat to security, (possibly running wild threatening passengers with a hot pot of coffee)
3) Since most Captains, even 411A
would not demand papers not required immediately, delivered on the spot, if it means disrupting cabin service
4) Since most Captains have enough smarts to deal with staff problems without diverting. (Heard UAL’s new SOPs will include use of handcuffs for unruly flight crew)
4) Logical conclusion.The Captain “lost it” and made a bad decision…until it is proven that flying saucers really exist. But if they do, the Captain maybe made a good decision.
5)Or maybe the aluminum projectile was “sliding along at 600 and rocking 30 degrees either side” the whole time so CA and FO’s had no time to think about anything but flyin da plane. Except for requesting the diversion.
Blame Oxcam!
