Congratulations to the VA crew for recovering a very bad situation. Major questions need to be asked firts of met and second of the regulator as to whether the 'no div/good weather' fuel policy is a wise one. The VA crew had taken extra fuel as well. They were very badly let down by met and as far as I can see took the logical decisions for the divert based on information available.

This regulatory policy will one day result in a smoking hole and dead people in some part of the world.
