That is nowhere near New York Times quality writing. You can clearly see that the 'journalist' is making stuff up;
-The captain 'strolled' back to business class cabin.
-Two FO's didn't file a report, to protect the Captain? How about that it simply wasn't required? An how would anyone know if they filed or not.
Speculation...
-A similar incident, and then goes on th talk about the Germanwings crash, not similar at all.
Not objective writing at all.
