I'll take a new captain diverting because of a security concern over an old captain stowing the spoilers and brakes in the first 5 seconds and proceeding to slide off SC. Go expense your missed meal.

Ok….so now a beeping noise is a “security concern?”
I guess if you're two hours out from Midway Island, you could do the former. Ultimately, it's on the FA's if they Cry Wolf without reasonable (from their perspective) cause. |

When the FA's report a "possible bomb" onboard, is your immediate priority to going be a detailed analysis of their assessment? Or get the divert, checklists, and notifications going?

I mean, we're really criticizing people for taking the most conservative route? If you have a f/a that is convinced there is an issue, you just gonna blow them off and keep going? And regarding the evac, might have been pax initiated. We don't have all the data.
Can’t Monday morning QB this situation, but you have to take anything an fa says with a grain of salt and do your own due diligence. You can’t solely go off anything they say , whether it’s an issue with a pax or equipment issue or whatever. Most of them have proven themselves not to be the sharpest knife in the drawer. |

Yes, if a FA tells me that there is a possible bomb on board I am 100% going to ask probing questions as to why she/he thinks that.
The alarm on her fake imitation Apple Watch went off and she dosent know what it is 😂so it must be a bomb chirping . |

So when you’re sitting at the other side of the big brown desk, and you’re being asked why you didn’t divert after a flight attendant reported that there was possibly a bomb on board, how will you respond?

I can understand the reason for divert but to land and deploy the slides so fast that you didn’t even put the reversers back in ?
The egress is more questionable without have all the facts . I hope the investigation will actually explain to us what happened and how/why decisions were made. |

You’re not telling the FAs that you are refusing to divert - you’re simply setting a calm, objective threshold for doing so. I’d defend that course of action all day long at the big long table. |
