Personally I go with the trusting of persons paid to fly the plane and look after the welfare of passengers in making the correct decision in the interests of all of the Passengers onboard. This is notwithstanding the fact that some of same passengers need Lobotomies which as of yet airlines can't provide.
Of course the crew will have considered their own personal safety and welfare as well ........selfish sods but least they landed missing the schools, hospitals and everything else they need to consider to keep Daily Mail readers happy.
