A and C, Verified,etc i agree in some aspects, visuals keep our skills up to speed and no, i have never yet been down to minimum's in greece although had to do a circling onto 17 at CFU the other night ! I know a few people that have in CFU and diverted. I have no problem what so ever diverting and the decision i make when I fly is mine and my management will back it, no explanation required.
The real point I was making is that the state of the runways etc would be unacceptable if it was any other country in europe but because it is greece and 'always been thus' thats ok !, Yes some money is being spent on aprons at ZAK to name but one, but the runways should be resufaced and approach lights installed (yes even at KOS) they managed it at old hong kong ?
Oh for the record i have done visuals into everywhere from south america to deepest africa.
