I totally disagree if an engine failure occurs we are taught to land ASAP at a suitable airfield and i dont think turning around into a HEAD WIND! as it was last night is a descision based on this. Quite simply the crew last night read between the lines of a suitable airfield, instead of choosing an airfield which was close,open,runway length,emergency services,weather etc etc they decided that a suitable airfield would be one that had all the above BUT also would be less of an inconvenience to the airline which in my view was the main reason for returning back to Dublin.
Everyone who flys for an airline has to draw the line between commercial preassures and safety and i think last night economics played a major part in the Captains descision which in my view is wrong!
