In defense of the pilots, who are unable to defend themselves, all required up to date WX may have been downloaded on ACARS. This of course would be able to be verified. What about Volmet?
Sop_Monkey, can you get a Sig Wx/Radar Images on ACARS?
When you say Volmet would that be HF as VHF Volmet only transmit METARs as far as I am aware?
