No, there is nothing there. If you go there you will have the folks onboard till the rescue ship arrives. A lot is word of mouth passed down over the years but it had better be REAL bad to go into Iwo. If you have an ETOPs jet Iwo isn't even listed anywhere on the release and the two points are departure and destination (I think we still do NGO - GUM).
Anyway, T can pipe in with anything new but Delta has at least attempted to put some guidance out. NWA was just it's there but please dont use it.
