A fine idea I'm sure, provided that you could gain accurate data on the constantly changing situation inside a volcanic ash cloud on a metre by metre basis, and that you could then find a suicidal pilot daft enough to take such data at face value and go blasting off through it with no way of monitoring whether or not the actual conditions they experience en-route match the predicted conditions.

Me, well I'll just stay down here thanks.
