Oilhead -
I chose to delay take off ex DFW a few months ago due convective wx very close to departure end of runway. I watched one or two others depart with no excitement, but many also chose to wait.
That is so comforting to read. If more pilots would do the same, we wouldn't have "weather-realted" accidents. Yes, that's what they say; "weather-related", but they're actually pilot-induced. I've gone over a hundred miles off course to avoid weather that I observed other pilots go right through. Am, or was I, chicken? You bet I was.
