Interconnected ss may have made it worse, (in the moment, and not anent outcome). Mutiny was alive, and there was never evidence of a quiescent Flight Deck, only harping, stubbornness and questions asked rhetorically instead of "teamed". Sad. I think the Captain's call and arrival hurt the situation, did not help. It solidified the stubbornness, instead of loosening it. It gave a third leg to the stool of confusion.
