Yangon(Yangon) airspace many years ago...Wx ahead and deviation,right of track (the best option),requested,...no reply..requested again,many times,until,left of track became the only option..
Informed that left of track was not available,and to deviate right only...
By now,there was a killer CB immediately to our right,and ahead...
My reply was that 180 degree turn,or left deviation were the only options possible...still no sensible instruction from ATC,so,began my left turn,around the weather....nothing more said...and we survived...
I like the idea of PP holding though(suggestion of).bound to illicit some extra thought from ground!
Edited addition...
What is the immediate threat facing you?..entering a CB with potential vertical currents of up to 150 kts!...how much yellow/red return..guess it all comes down to this.....you need to be the crew on the day....
