747 passion, get this,
- Amateurs under pressure( or armchair) would choose the most simplest and easiest option available but not necessarily the best.
- Professionals under pressure would evaluate all their options available and, having safety as their utmost priority at all times, would choose the option that is the most benefical to as much parties as possible.
Face it, most airlines faced with this scenario would have done the same thing. IFSDs on a quad have occurred from time to time and in most cases after assessing the situation, the crew have diverted to an airport that is the most convenient rather than the nearest airport available. With twins, it's vice versa. This has been a standard practice practiced by most airlines and endorsed by the aircraft manufacturers themselves. So, if you feel unsafe about it, simply fly twins or stick with boats and ships.
With a username like yours, it is ironic that you do not see the biggest advantage a quad has over a twin. Having said that, I can also see what your motives are for posting these posts.
