I think 'Based of Facts' needs therapy. He needs to know without the full 'facts' little can be gleaned from the apparent outcome. It could well be that the Captain can no longer stand flying with such hysterical juniors in the cabin and has taken what we call 'the Kings Shilling' and departed for a well earned (and subsidised) retirement.
Altogether, less hysteria was needed about this. Lessons to be learned? Respect for authority and chain of command. Less desire to erect inter-crew walls. A united approach to the task. But don't worry, I've seen similar in another Big Airline with the same colours.
I still feel immensely sorry for the captain. Trying to fly safely at 500kts with a nest of vipers under your feet is exceedingly hard! Maybe he just had enough of their nauseating attitudes! Certainly we have it in full display here.
