Dress it up all you like. A Hydraulic system had an overheat. Dan can give you as much data as he wants between the temperature that gives an overheat warning and the actual igniting point of the fluid.
And you would rather risk it being nothing whilst abeam Puerto Princesa? How familiar is that port to KA/CX pilots?
Besides all that. You guys are missing the biggest point of all and I must admit Dan my old mucker has certainly lost some integrity when it comes to his past and future posts on experience levels and children of the magenta.
What Captain decides to abandon the nearest suitable airfield that is a CX AND KA port with an RNAV and ILS because he is 'unfamiliar' with it??? This is the type of question I thought Dan Buster would ask. Or are you getting soft in your old age?
