I guess from your response and the aircraft you fly, that you have never flown near active volcanoes before.
After 30 years and 18,000 hours, I have flown near near lots of active volcanoes in the Pacific and Caribbean. Occasionally I have had to re-route around ash clouds of those that erupt while in flight.
I am having a difficult time understanding what appears to be a large scale over reaction to a world wide phenomenon which happens quite regularly.
