I did submit an MOR, and I did tell ATC what I was doing,when I could get a word in,however the controller was working flat out and physically could not talk ,or process any faster dealing with an increasing workload.Heres the rock heres the hard place,my choice to make a decision that I am fully accountable for.If anyone needs a reminder then have a look at the damage sustained by a 757 coming out of palma recently.No damage,to me this time,other than a few more grey hairs!,and an engineer dispatched on a later flight to do the chk at dest.
I only offer the hold untill onward clearace or w/x deviation can be approved as a possible solution,other than keeping me on the ground for 20 mins.
Regards Max.
