To answer your question"what would do?"

1)Talk to the first aircraft in the sequence and ask, " how much fuel do you have? And whoever had less gets the first go.

2)when comes to my turn, do the approach to minima, then MAP.

3)Cabin prep, then discuss with other crew member, flying to the ground and landing, unsighted if possible

4)Declare an emergency

5)Land, and stand myself down.

6) Go to pub and have several beverages

7)Find meteorologist responsible, and send very strongly worded letter, questioning his parentage!

It's not too difficult, is it?


Fuelling up and shooting through, is ....um ......how do I put it.......questionable?

Pure guess work on my part, but I would suggest that management have since stood down the crew. I stand to be corrected on that
