So if you were calling the shots, how long would you have waited to call
for air support?

If I was calling the shots, I wouldn't call for air support. I don't
believe in shooting down an unarmed civilian airliner simply because it
MIGHT be used as a weapon.

Just because the fighters are there doesn't mean they are going to shoot
someone down.
