The matter will not be reported, as a professional courtesy. Since I'm captain, I'll lay down the law. They will respect each other, and the crew will perform in a professional manner. We will operate the flight back home. However, at the FIRST sign of trouble between them, even if it's verbal, we are diverting to the nearest airfield. They will then get in touch with the Chief Pilot and explain why they're calling from Keflavik.

I'd tell them those are the hard and fast rules, and the situation dictates that there will be no compromise. I'd then leave it up to them to decide if they'll operate the flight back.

It doesn't fit too nicely into the CRM model that we have these days, but at the end of the day the captain may have to be firmer than usual in order to do his duty of managing the crew.
