In terms of de-escalation, I did really like the post that young KARFA put out in a slightly different context. While it's good to encourage people to do the right thing, and sometimes people genuinely have forgotten to get the mask in place, nevertheless this is ultimately about personal responsibility. You can allow yourself to get tied in knots about this but frankly it's bad for your soul. The best you can do is to lead by good example, safe in the sure and certain knowledge that you are on side of the angels.
That said, I would have just offloaded myself. If you do that then the captain would have some explaining to do. There are very, very few things in life that can't wait 24 hours.
Thanks
corporate-wage-slave - Glad to hear that you would have offloaded yourself too. I would have done it 100% (including my checked luggage) however I really needed to get to CAI that evening and catch a connection on a separate PNR the following morning. Plus my PCR to enter Egypt would have expired the following day.
