I realise you are not defending if the captain was correct or not and also that he has the right to divert if he determines it to be necessary. However can you give me an example of how it could be seriously considered that flight safety was compromised.
Sure a p%ssed off FA is not nice but I still do not realise how this could lead to "anarchy" on the flight, as some have quoted.
This is not a dig at you but I really want to have some examples.
As for BoF, his/her rants, or at least the style of writing that comes across as a rant, does nothing to portray the Senior CC member in a good light.
