Question

Sorry, but it looks like everybody is missing the main issue here, and it is spelled INSUBORDINATION!. .Here is the press release from APPLA - Portuguese Airline Pilots Association. .. .APPLA - The Portuguese Airline Pilots Association distributed a press release that says that "it is false in any accounts, that the decision of the commander" of the Lockheed Tristar from Yes Air that returned to the airport of Malpensa (Milão) in the past day 3 of March, was influenced by a vote from the passengers for the simple fact that the commander had no knowledge of that fact until after landing. To APPLA "the technical performance from the crew in the resolution of the incident was exemplar", referring more ahead that "faced with the disorder provoked by some passengers that, inclusively, tried to invade the cockpit putting the flight in serious risk, the commander, in the safeguard of the aircraft and of the passengers, following international recommendations to handle this kind of situation, returned to Milão".
