One would guess this is occurring due to commercial pressures??

PPL pilots in the UK face excess diversionary charges, which can sometimes lead to fatal 'press on' decisions being made.

I fear this is very much a similar case now in the commercial sector, with Captains facing an extreme grilling down if they have diverted during 50/50 conditions.
Things need to change industry wide....not just within AA!!
