Lobe, as the previous posters have said the doctor in the article refers to the diversion being the
wrong call. Had the wording been along the lines of
"In his opinion" things may be different.
As one poster stated has the said doctor seen how close suburbia is to the fencline at WN or what lies of the end of either threshold???? One could also argue that putting down in WN would block the runway for the lifeflight metro preventing it getting in/out on any other op.
Flyby has spent too many sectors debating with T/C's the merits of diversions to A over B to end the list here.
Myself and im sure all the other boys/girls in this game for a living give WB the thumbs up
In anycase im sure what was quoted was at the least out of context and more likley a summary of what the jurno had interpreted.
