I'm not saying that ATC didn't have a problem, but by the same token,
it is also unacceptable for the pilot to continue to his destination
after he declared an emergency to avoid the delays and hassles of
diverting to a closer airport.



What closer airport?


The Dallas news said McKinney (KTKI) and Addison (KADS) were other
choices. As someone else said, the decent cruise to KDFW would have been
just as quick.


OK the word is descent....
