WWW,
When I pointed out that some airlines would discipline a Captain for making an unnecessary diversion,I didnt imply that I necessarily agreed with this policy.Its a tough job..if you divert you have to justify it..and if you elect not to,you have to justify that too.Naturally,if you work for an airline that will support whatever decision you make,I say "Hang on to that job" and wish you the best of luck.Perhaps when you tire of flying holidaymakers to Spain,you will try the expat life,and then you'll see.Not all carriers(there are many good ones) obviously.But we're not talking third world either.
Eff Oh,
Ditto.I worked 17 years for a US major,then 18 as an expat.Now retired.
