It's not just about saying no to bad weather it's flying good in bad weather should the devil present herself. The way I see the trend going, soon no one will take a flight if there is the CHANCE of weather! we all signed on for this mission. In some places more than others weather plays a big factor you either learn the trade or move along. BTW the only real fix on that list is H-TAWS and two pilots,(IFR Birds a given) if you can't handle it with that, get out while you can. One more thing, NVG's are like a bullet proof vest's, they just make you run into that building full of bad guy's faster only to get shot in the face! Careful what you ask Santa for!

-Two pilots all the time
-part 135 all the time
-IFR equipped machines
-IFR current crews
-IFR infrastructure and procedures
-NVGs
-EVS
-EGPWS
Please tell me how to pay for all that!
