How hard is it to train pilots that if they're intending to request a clearance that they need a contingency plan in case they're knocked back
Better yet, how hard is it to train VMC pilots to not proceed into IMC, been an issue since the Wright brothers but we still haven't learnt the lesson. Rather like the way junior put it,
Why would any clearance or instruction in any airspace warrant a VFR aircraft descending into IMC?........This thread is the equivalent of a car speeding through a red light and crashing in the middle of the intersection and then focusing on why the light was red
