the f\o was very wrong in not maintaining decorum.By which I mean when an airline trains pilots and entrusts responsibility to the aircrew they are in effect entrusting the lives of so many
people and the rep of the airline .Both the Capt and the F/O
now have accepted the responsibility .A Captain being the more senior (mature) has now to conduct the flight in an approriate manner by setting the correct pace with all concerned, sometimes the cabin crew come in upset about something a captain should talk to them make them relax until he is sure that they are in tune with him and apart from other briefing the way he would like to conduct the flight.The same applies to the F/O .Sometimes the F/O has some history which the Capt knows about his past maybe .The Capt in this case should make a resolution BEFORE
the flight as to how he is to approach the F/O and make him a
team player.
Some Captains get along very well with certain types, if he is from his hometown all the better.
The other end of the curve are these two unfortunate souls.
this is not the first time this has happened in aviation nor is it going to be the last
