Their only misstep was making the PA to the passengers and being too detailed.

Which alone suggests who wasn’t in control of their mouth or temper…

Yes.

It's a long flight and if he felt he wasn't safe to complete it with his FO because of a personal conflict, how can anyone disagree with his decision?

I still don't know who made the PA and told the passengers about conflict but that seems to be the only moment of questionable judgement.

Should we even believe in one pax’s tweet? Is there more evidence to corroborate what actually happened?

Can’t we all get along? Guess not…

An Alaska Airlines flight turned around on the tarmac when the pilot and copilot had a “professional disagreement,” according to a statement from the airline.
Captain walked off.
Wow, not quite sure yet what to think of this one.

If you aren’t quite sure what to think maybe you could go read the commentary in the existing thread about it to help formulate some opinions.

I apologize for offending you.
Maybe I should leave?

All of this.
Kudos to the FO for de escalating.

Pro stands must have this Captains number on speed dial. Just imagine the situation with slightly different wording on the PA.

or even better, don’t think that anyone, but the two involved, actually know what happened because what’s out there is complete garbage…😉 just a crazy idea🤷‍♀️
