Sadly you miss my point! I am not advocating that we should all operate under a PAOC-which is not a public transport AOC in many respects. Prior to departure of any flight one of the primary tasks of pre flight planning is full and proper wx information covering the full anticipated route and any alternates. Aviation has always taken great pride in its safety culture and included in this is learning from our mistakes, if the AAIB investigation shows that WX was a major contributory factor which many think it may do, it is the responsibility of all aviators to operate to the highest standards. As a professional pilot I would welcome anything that makes my aviating safer. I am not sure what relevance driving on our roads in bad Wx has to do with this and I think the majority of the general public would agree.
