Jim, it's about time that someone told you that Mxsmanic seems
to understand a hell-of-a-lot more about what really happens in
jet transport aircraft than you do. You are just looking the fool
in your attempts to rebut his posts.

You need to understand a few things.

One, I do not claim to be an authority on transport aviation, unlike MX.

Two, I do not try to rebut his posts, because it is an exercise in futility.
I was only letting a newbie know who was giving him an answer, that the
answer is most likely incorrect, and that the writer does not know any more
than what he has learned playing a game.

I find his questions very well thought-out and his answers to
other's questions well researched.

I can't find a single thing in that line that isaccurate or correct. Well
researched? What planet are you living on, presently? He lets others do
his research, instead of doing the first little bit himself, then criticises
the answer given, when he gets the right answer.

BTW, ATC will gladly release an aircraft into any weather that
the pilot wishes provided that the airport has not been closed.

But they will inform (or flight service will inform) the pilot of the
current weather conditions along the intended route.

Since you have so much faith in MX's knowledge, I'll let you have the honor
of riding with him on his first flight after getting his PPL. It sure will
not be me.

I hope you know that your credibility just dropped (with your support of
this individual) with a lot of people, I'm sure. It does not show very good
judgment, at the very least.
