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

Yes.

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?

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.

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

Personally my opinion is the crew made the right decision to RTG if safety and the ability to properly function as a pair was of concern. I do disagree with the PA that was made. I also know prostands is most likely already involved. Company stood behind them. Not sure what caused such a fork in the road for them. Probably brought up a controversial topic like whether pineapple belongs on pizza.
