What?

I wouldn't be relying on dispatch that much at this point. I'd definately talk to them, but they're holed up in a room somewhere probably stressing about other flights as well while the crew is the one who's butt is on the line.

It sounds like the alternate in this situation is really the only option availible other than the destination....and because of that, I don't think I'd want to land there with much less than 45min of fuel. Maybe I'm a wuss though.
