...not what might happen in some fantasy situation...
You don't need to look too far in this Forum to see the Reality that fantasy might try to ignore. My criticism is not the the pilots per se, but of the industry as a whole. Emirates may have a policy called get the baby home unless both engines are on fire, for all I know, so no blame attributable to the pilots. The real fantasy is that the traveling public do not understand that determination of the risks, does not principally take them into consideration.
