Hi,
Given that all the other flights had to alter their course to avoid the weather then I think it is safe to assume that AF447 would have had to do the same thing at some point.
What is odd that from the limited data we have it appears that AF447 made no manouvering upto the point of the incident. This is remarkable given the path of the a/c when overlayed on the various satellite images.
