Yeah no big deal when a plane loaded with people makes an unscheduled landing due to a hungry crying 15 yr old girl and it is boarded with paramedics and police. I am sure the FFA thinks this is just business as usual. Maybe the pilot needs to take charge of the situation rather than let an irritated male flight attendant who wants to hoard 1st class meals cry wolf

It is not unsafe to make an unscheduled landing. Your post was clearly saying it was unsafe to do so. I stated that you are wrong on that point. Landing is a landing is a landing. . unless you are missing an engine or have flight control issues. In those cases, it is a big deal and risk is elevated.

No big deal, safety-wise, when all systems are operating normally.

It is a big deal administratively (not affecting safety which was the point of your post).

The PIC acted correctly and did not, as you stated, place the aircraft in any danger by doing so.

Oh, and reports of an unruly passenger the aircrew will remain in the cockpit as they have protocols to ensure the aircrew are not placed into a potentially violent situation. The pilot is not a police officer so he has no business placing himself in the middle of a situation, to mediate a situation, that is not his job. His job is to fly the jet. Not play cop. Fly the jet and let the authorities figure out what happened and why.

Ignore my post where I asked for your time and type ratings as it is clear you don't have any so your comments regarding the PIC actions are uninformed.

By "hoard", do you mean keep them for the passengers who paid for them? Or was he going to take them home to his poodle?
