So now in addition to carrying the responsibilities of command, we're going to expect a captain to act as a dispatcher, SOCC manager and Maintrol supervisor? What a load of rubbish. The captain's job is to do their best to complete the mission as assigned, i.e. take an A330 from PHL to FCO. If that is not possible in the captain's eyes, their job is to articulate why, to stay on the scene to manage the effects and ensure the passengers are cared for and then let the other above-mentioned blokes deal with it.
