ECUREILIX...........I take your point about seasonal weather in India, but there is a big difference between the continuous bad weather conditions of the Indian monsoon, and a passing severe thunderstorm in SE Asia. The thunderstorms in the region rarely last more than 30 minutes, so why compromise safety by pressing on into known bad weather and windshear when a small delay means cavok. If you don't believe me compare the safety records of the airlines in the region, and you will soon see that although they all fly in similar weather environments, some have a markedly better safety record when it comes to weather related incidents.
