Barring a FlightAware glitch, they most likely are trying to climb out and head to the alternate, at least that's how I read the situation. At the risk of Monday morning QBing, sure looks like those guys let themselves get backed into a corner.

Here's to the tool bag who stole my sunglasses out of the crew room lost and found. The crew who was nice enough to bring them to the lost and found notified me of their return (thank you); but alas, douche-baggery prevailed and some @hole swooped in within 24 hours of my return and stole them.

My totd is the ***** pax on my commute flight home today who proceeded to thumb her nose at complying with the rules of bag stowage to the point of confronting the poor FA in the front of the a/c. Glad the FA didn't back down and the pilots backed her up. I was the last one off the plane since I wanted to see if the FA wanted my contact info in case she needed a witness. (this ***** pax was seated next to me, of course...)
She changed her tune when she was detained on the plane before she got off and saw the FO who looked like a Marine Corp drill sergeant. He didn't look amused and I'm sure he ripped her a new one.
Kudos for backing up your crew, sir!

I just love the holding pattern entry... Reminds me of a hold I did as a new FO at some random VOR/NDB intersection near DTW on the DC-9 back in the early 90's. Planes were stacked everywhere and that fix was all approach had left for us to use (approach controller was absolutely swamped). We eventually got into DTW despite my lousy NDB holding skills.
