Spandy missing the point too. Wet, windy and the last bit, in particular, no fire cover and closed anyway does not in any sense make it suitable. Nearest is nearest is nearest and has to be suitable. Of course. If it isn't you go somewhere else. Geees, the very claptrap I think Slowjet was seeking to avoid.

Here's the thing Skygods : almost overhead Larnaca on the way home to a Birthday Bash in the ME, engine quits. Drills complete, into the hold (very high level and descending, company calls on HF and says that there is a spare engine in Damascus and there is an Engineers strike at LCA. Also, massive 80kts up yer ass on the way to Damascus. Kindly divert to Damascus. What would you Skygods do ? Careful, this really happened and was incorporated into our Command Selection Interviews. responses were interesting and in some cases, the straw that broke the camel's back resulting in a bit more RHS time being recommended.
