Taking a break from comparing the size of our appendages in flying aircraft...the scenario I possibly see is this:
Lets suppose this captain was a thorn in the side of not only who flew with her, but also the the company. Lets say she was disruptive to the general operating philosophy of Southwest Airlines and perhaps not the ace of the base. Then this accident occurs. The company decides there is finally justification to terminate her employment. They consult with the union (who also recognizes the issues that exist between her and the membership who they are tasked to protect) and the union agrees in a way that curbs their heated objections to a member being terminated.
We don't yet know the details of the CVR. Normally, the captain would fly FO for a predetermined period after an accident of this sort, but considering possible work history, ability and general negative waves...she's terminated. Sounds like a logical scenario to me.
