Algol----I don't know who you are, you appear to be with HKA? Therefore I hope that you have some form of experience as a Pilot in Asia, how much experience I don't know but from you posts I feel not too much.

Mate, I flew to TPE the other day, as I said we managed somehow with the grace of god I guess !! to actually arrive in TPE without penetrating any bad weather, without picking up any ICE, without having to submit any PIREPS, without flying within 40 nm of any Red returns in the Radar, without anything more than light Turbulence

This we managed to do quite safely and easily, wow all this all using the systems my A330 has.

Yes I knew from pre flight planning the Typhoon was quite large, I knew it was close to my track, I carried enough fuel to have HKG +80 as an Alternate and was quite prepared to fly 200 nm off track if need be.

What else would you have us do?

Run away from all the weather in Asia? Have you ever flown through the ITCZ? Do you know what the ITCZ is?

stop being a dick.
