You are 10 miles out on final to SFO. Between you and SFO there is a storm system with embedded lightning.
There is conflicting traffic from OAK so you can't divert. You have two choices.
1) You could go into a holding pattern until the storm system passes but in doing so you lose your spot at the gate.
2) You can penetrate the storm system.
Which would you chose?
Or, is there an alternative?
PS I'm not a pilot so please excuse the possibility of errors in my assumptions.
