As you said in your earlier post - you need to look at the big picture - a microburst won’t show up on the radar. It also won’t be present unless there’s some serious weather in the vicinity - don’t necessarily have to fly through a CB..

Again, please tell me which carrier it is so I can avoid flying with you.
