They are human beings, and their jobs are being outsourced.

The jobs haven't been outsourced, the employer has.

Aa well as their FAA retirement. It is now vaporware. The ones who
could find other jobs in the FAA have jumped ship from the new employer.
The new employer is a preditor.

Spare me the "it's not their fault" argument. A true professional is able
to keep his/her personal issues from interfering with the job, especially
if this job has some influence on the safety of others.

No argument from me. That is why the airlines and the pros never use
FSS. If you want professional service you pay for it.

It was one whale of a nice ride, a good work out, and three different
approaches right down to almost minimums. All this through what I had
expected to be a really rough ride due to those red and yellow
reflections which really are only showing precipitation.

Great post Roger,

While I agree with Peter on convective yellows and reds, if it's stratiform
clouds and no convective activity expected or conducive of convective
activity, I personally don't mind the yellows returns. I like you
experienced one of the smoothest rides in rainy weather in stratiform
clouds.

I have never KNOWINGLY flown through red precip returns, that's for sure,
but that's not to say I haven't gone through an embedded red return.

Talk about an impromptu shower, when the rain comes through the air vents
:-)
