Which is kind of my point. The tendency for EU Carriers to take 4 or more OFPs and corresponding WX packs at the start of their duties is, to my knowledge common place. I believe FR aircraft do not have ACARS so updating dispatch and inflight replanning WX requirements can be problematic leaving the crew in uninformed and in this case a challenging operational set of circumstances. I'm not saying that a flight watch system would have changed the outcome, only the crews may have been in a better place to make a MORE informed decision before they entered the MAD TMA.
