And that is a very important observation. The way things are in modern day economics, if we arrive at NCL on absolute PLOG fuel and ATC order us to go around (because of a possible dead bird on the runway) then we must surely immediately divert to our declared alternate (in this case - Edinburgh).

The only other alternative is that we give up our ability to divert and stay in the hold at NCL in the hope that the airport authorities declare that the runway and absolutely everything else that might just possibly fall foul of HSI is absolutely free of the ebola virus, the tree- huggers, the Green Party and UKIP.
