OK, if ATC was unable to accommodate the request (to stay clear of the
cloud), would you come here ranting about their incompetence? Do you think
the airline pilots would?


Get off it, Mike. Jeff had an "experience" and he shared it with us and we've
had our comments - pro and con. Your continuing to beat on it will make the
less calloused in the group not post. We will all (you included if you have
anything to learn) be the worse for it. Personally, I've followed the advice
or direction of someone else (both controllers and my wife) and later found
that I wish I hadn't. I'd like this group to be free discussion with less
vitriol.
