I could understand that comment if the thread were full of criticism of diversion decisions and Monday-morning quarterbacking. I can't see any evidence of that.
Exactly. I agree with Dave. Doesn't really matter what kind of chair the comments come from if they accurately describe an unusual day that many might just learn a little from, including some PPs. Today is of course, quite unusual over UK and near Europe. First we have had Atlantic jetstream assisted record 800+mph subsonic flights overnight, and now we are seeing multiple GAs and very long diversions away from several UK airfields (the types of diversion that can only be executed through a high standard of contingency planning before setting off).
