Personally, I'd rather have the

are than relying on some "forecast" from a bureaucrat. Particularly if the forecast is from a computer model at the "barbeque summer" office.
I have far more trust in those actually flying the plane than those supposedly in charge who take several days to organise a meeting to talk about maybe having a european strategy.
[ I spent 24+hrs on a coach with wife and kids - not pleasant but we got back, not the end of the world. However, I would have also taken the captains decision to fly, like we always do with every MEL etc. - most of which decisions we never even hear about sat in the back. ]
