I’m not here to debate my qualifications (nor will I outline whether they are or are not relevant).

We all love playing armchair CEO, Pilot, Ops personnel, etc. but in some situations, you just have to be there.

None of us have all the information- Pilots had what FAs told them, I imagine they relayed that to Willis ops to debate diversion. My version is based on being in the immediate vicinity of the purser, several other FAs, and the offending passenger.
