I totally agree. I don't buy it that a seasoned captain would suddenly loose it only because a flight attendant pushes papers under the door. I guess the captain surprised all on board when he diverted because of that! They were stunned.
Maybe he really wants to be "out". From what I gather he is not very much liked or respected for some reasons, and he reportedly showed his colleagues a reciprocal attitude.
That he diverted to Miami instead of Orlando (which is, like, 30 Minutes away?) intrigues me: He put his company in bind: Disrupt service even more or let him continue to fly? From what I gather from the information on this thread, this strengthend his position when it comes to a profitable retirement settlement.
I know, speculation ... but if true, very well played, Sir!
