It's the captains call. You gonna declare an emergency and RTB based on the report of a pax? Doubtful. Depends on the credibility of the pax, weather, airport services available. All irregularities should be investigated by the cockpit crew- no matter the source. Makes you wonder how many times reports of this nature never make it up front. Easy to be a Monday morning QB.
