I'm going to do exactly what i'm told by whoever assumes control of the situation
SixDelta Are you a licensed aircraft commander? If you are, don't you think that in the event of a bomb being on board it might be an idea to acquaint yourself with the facts or, at a minimum, to determine who exactly IS in control (if you think it isn't you)?

In general, at what point would you give up your responsibilities and to whom do you transfer those responsibilities and how do you determine that they have actually assumed those responsibilities?

Even more to the point, if you were convinced for some reason that there was bomb on board but were being sent to a convenient (to them) airfield 30 mins away from the one below you, would you take the view that (1) you were in charge, or (2) that it was the "somebody" who was sending you elsewhere?
