A pilot flies a flight and on the way storms move near the destination airport. He's not sure if he can safely make it. He thinks "I should land at the nearest suitable!" but his FO talks him off the ledge.. "why don't we add an alternate instead?" the FO asks.

They continue the flight with an added alternate and even have a couple back up alternates that, though not on the release, could work as well.. That way if everyone else heads to their listed alternate, they still have back up plan. They brief the bottom line and back up plans, and continue to the airport feeling a lot better.. weary from the decision making, the Captain calls back to the FAs and asks for coke and the snack basket..

The end
