Narrative

ACFT XYZ WAS SCHEDULED TO MAINT FERRY FROM COS TO SFO FOR RETIREMENT UNDER A TYPE 2 FERRY. #1 CHK WAS OUT OF TIME (CORROSION VISIT CHK). ENRTE; CREW WAS REQUESTED TO DIVERT TO DEN FOR OPERATIONAL REASONS. ACFT XXX WAS OTS AND NEEDED THE ENGS OFF OF XYZ TO RETURN ACFT TO SVC. I WAS QUICKLY DEBRIEFED ON THIS SIT; WHEN THE DISPATCHER CONFERENCED ME ON WITH THE FLC. THE FLC DID NOT HAVE A PROB WITH DIVERTING TO DEN; BUT WANTED A NEW FERRY PERMIT TO REFLECT THE ACFT GOING TO DEN IN LIEU OF SFO. REVIEWING OVER THE SIT; I FELT AT THE TIME THAT IT WOULD NOT BE A PROB FOR THE ACFT TO DIVERT TO DENVER. HOWEVER; I RE-SENT AN AMENDED FERRY PERMIT AND SENT TO CREW VIA ACARS TO THEIR PRINTER. THE SECTOR DISPATCHER AND DISPATCH MGR WERE IN THE LOOP WITH THE MAINT FERRY DIVERTING TO DEN. AFTER A FEW MINS; REFLECTED UPON MY ACTIONS; I FELT MY ACTIONS WERE NOT APPROPRIATE. IT MAY HAVE BEEN A SOUND BUSINESS DECISION TO MAKE; BUT CONTRADICTS OUR PROCS FOR A MAINT FERRY. MY ACTIONS WERE GOOD FOR THE COMPANY; BUT SHEDS AN UNKINDLY LIGHT UPON MYSELF.
