Bubbers,
What difference does it make? I didn't have to make a decision in a few minutes. If I had to make a decision in a few minutes then I would have.
You understand the importance of the word 'probably' in my post?
SSR,
...but sometimes you just have to ''wise some guys up a bit.''
Go for it, I welcome your superior knowledge.
how would you know it would only take 15 minutes for someone to wake up?
I wouldn't. In this case however, that is all I would have had to wait is it not? But neither would I be still circling around as you suggest would I? I mean, I carry some extra fuel but not days worth. I would have made a considered decision instead of rushing to get on the ground.
would you have dipped into your 45 minute reserve fuel?
I would have made a decision before then.
would you keep circling till you were out of fuel?
Is that a serious question?!
yes, in answer to your question, and probably because it become a part of us over here.
So, Europeans are incapable of thinking, solving problems and have no sense? Are you really saying that? Really, on a board heavily populated by Europeans? If I was an American I would be embarrassed by you.
