Report by Captain:

"...unusual event...uncertain of ramifications...elected as PIC (not company Chairman)...to assess and land at a suitable airport...drills carried out...safe landing accomplished... passengers disembarked...aircraft, passengers and crew all safe and in one piece"
Regards Captain XXXXXXXXXXX

Company: "yes but WE preferred if you had continued"

Captain: "fine but me, myself, the passengers (please read "lawsuit" instead of passengers, please do!) the crew and your precious f**king aircraft are here,now, with the actions taken.
Had we continued???

Company: "yes....but even still WE preferred you to continue!"

Captain: "would you still maintain that attitude had YOU been aboard and we'd appraised you of the situation??"

Company: ..................after some consideration: "actually forgot to mention what a great effort you made for all involved, thank-you, cheerio-o!"
Pan to grey suited invidual scurrying away.

Cheers
