Rainboe, if the situation was that distracting and upsetting of the CA's frame of mind, the expedient thing for him would be to divert earlier to San Juan where United has a station and which was enroute.

As for the CA, he was no longer rostered for flights the week following the incident, and as nobody has subsequently announced (trumpeted might be the better word) that he is back to flying, an inference can be drawn that he remains in non-flying status three weeks after his diversion. As the adage goes: Silence speaks volumes.
