A responsible pilot would have gone to an operating alternate airfield where the weather was better. The pilot had to have fuel to divert to an operational airfield. That's basic SOP for civilian air.
We divert aircraft all the time in the free world.
I was stuck for a while at DFW because of a divert...tornado warning storm.
There was a Czech Air flight that diverted at Rostov before the FlyDubai crash.
