From a common sense view, if the weather is dirty all across the Balearic why would you waste your diversion fuel going somewhere that’s no better (I haven’t seen Ibiza or Menorca WX for that day), and in the 20 minutes or so it takes to get there having to recalculate, rebrief, consult checklists, inform Co, Cc, pax, and all the other stuff with a chance of dropping the ball when you can spend the time in the hold making sure you are giving plan A the best chance it has?
