Thanks
carbheatout, I tend to err on the side of caution with our newest PAX but, after a couple of sectors in this forum? They can dodge the trollies and brickbats for themselves.
I certainly recall an encounter with the ITCZ at altitude before weather radar had become sophisticated. Also there was, I think, less concern about the Pax being bounced a bit - it was just part of the deal. Nowadays, a smooth flight is seen as good customer relations.
