No can't say I have as I am not a pilot but I know the subject well enough to understand that it shouldn't make any difference to safety because if it is so bad to compromise safety then you don't go in!
And that my friend is the crux of the problem.

It's very easy to sit in armchairs and pontificate but pilots have to make decisions in real time.

The point I was making about the monsoon is that you have to experience it to understand how rapidly things can change. Even the heaviest rain at LPL is nothing like landing in the monsoon I can assure you.

The question is how do you determine "if it is so bad to compromise safety" not to go in?
