Respecting CBs.........
To DC-ATE:
What makes You possibly think and write such a nonsense?
I do not know any pilot in an airline cockpit who would knowingly fly into a storm cell.
I remember one day Peking ATC would deny me to avoid WX and turn to the right of track. I just did it. I think we are paid for taking decisions and not to let ATC or stupidity guide us into harms way.
If it happened there must have been a reason for it.......
