30 knot tailwind (if straight down the jet pipe) seems to me to be outrageous - turn the bastard into the wind youse lazy sods:
The only solution to this kind of problem is a software upgrade (150 000 000$ bracket) so that the aircraft refuses to start its engines in a strong tailwind. (I initially thought that a warning message might be enough, but on reflection this would probably be ignored by the pilot).
