O'Neill No6
Great (but shocking) post, and shows the pressure pilots are under to reach destination.
What some PAX don't understand is that there is only a relatively small area of tarmac that the plane can land on and if for whatever reason that is unavailable, then alternatives have to be looked at for the safety of the plane, passengers and crew. No-one wants a divert but sometimes they are essential, despite the time and cost implications.
