I am sure that the pilot is getting ribbed because he brought down a full plane because a disabled kid was crying because she was hungry.

That “kid” wouldn’t have been crying if her mom had packed the kind of food she knew the “kid” liked, and the kind of food the mom hounded the crew for.

Looks like those tears are on mom.

The PIC is in the cockpit.

Reports of an incident of an unruly passenger/possible threat of violence. The PIC has no choice but to remain in the cockpit, to maintain safe flight and take steps that ensure the safe operation of the aircraft--and that would mean landing the jet, deplaning the problem and let the authorities sort it out. He is not a cop. Simple. You are arguing the PIC should have left the cockpit to engage in the middle of a dispute of some sort, a dispute where some threat of violence was alleged. Safest course of action is to leave it up to the authorities to sort who was right or wrong. Not his job.

Period.

End of discussion.

Because you clearly have no idea about airline operations, cockpit procedures, division of responsibilities between the cabin crew and the flight deck, FAA regulations, airlines policies and basic airmanship, you are so far off commenting knowledgeably on the PICs actions, and the level of support he is receiving from other pilots, it is laughable (to be blunt).

Look, we get it, you are emotionally invested in your position, but come on, don't try and argue on a subject you have no clue. Does not make you look anything but foolish by those that know.
