Good post 5 Miles,
as you say not having a go just explaining a situation. When we have to work with weather avoidance going on ,our workload increases substantially with the only safe way in the type of environment that i work in of applying level separation.
We will do our damnedest to help and to be fair the crews are always grateful for the deviations you give them, but just an awareness of how much our workload increases is a good thing.
