WA: Push on or Pull Out?

Seems to be ongoing investigations from the regulator out in the West in regards to PIC decision making around diverting to the nearest suitable, or continuing on to destination/engineering base. The opinions on this out there also seems divided in terms of landing at whatever is closest vs flying on for an hour.

Air Asia 237, Air Asia 221, and most recently Virgin 1788. Not sure if Network 2658 is another.

The ATSB usually does not push the blame on any crew as such, however they clearly did not approve of the decision making in last weeks release of Virgin 1778.
