I have never been subjected, in three and a half years at RYR, to any pressure to get in. Wx below minima? hold as long as poss if there is any realistic possibility of an improvement or temporary alleviation,if not, off you go to wherever you nominated, or have been asked, to divert. I think what we saw was simply an ignorance of the regulations for the airfield deficiencies that night.This can, and regretably will, be laid directly on the doorsteps of the crews concerned. However, had a certain individual been more concerned with being a bit more pro-active in safety matters , rather than passing his time writing to crews asking why they took more than 300kg extra fuel, perhaps he could have avoided this embarassment at our largest base , that he supposedly oversees.He will, as usual, come out of this smelling of roses, and that is the greatest injustice.
