Folks, I'm a pilot...............and I hate turbulence because no matter what, you are never really sure of what you're going to get. Maybe I am in the wrong line of work ?
However, asking for flight without turbulence is like asking for a channel crossing without surf.
I do my darned best to avoid them, starting with a thorough flight planning and so far, specially with CAT it's worked well.
It's created some tension with dispatch because they were just lazy and didn't feel like doing the flight plan all over gain. I couldn't care less.
But sometimes, unfortunatly, it's unavoidable. If you have bad weather over the airfield, you still have to go in and that involves bumps.
Having said this, I agree, some pilots do not give a hoot about what the pax feel at the back. This will be the same kind that keeps his PA to a minimum, will let you wonder why you're still taxiing after an hour or why you ve been circling for an hour only to discover that they've diverted to another airport.
