That's the important part! As as the crew determines that the situation is under control, they would have to pick the destination to divert and that's where the Captain earns his keep for the company. Whenever possible, the management would like to see the a/c divert to a "friendly" airport (i.e. mx base or at least multiple commercial flight in and out incase the plane is AOG and the part needs to be sourced and delivered)
