Halas:

Hope you are not coming up for the command interview, 'cuz you got two majors completely wrong in that effervescent little post.

"No where does it say 'Land Asap' ?" Have a look at the Boeing FCTM Non-Normal Operations section 6 page 2 and you will find that "land at the nearest suitable airport" means precisely that.

The crew had some "indication the problem was over"? Nothing in the cargo fire procedure allows the crew to make that judgement. Once the warning has activated the airplane is to be put on the ground.

Time to start studying
