A Red Alert is issued only for the ramp workers. It's just so that they
aren't out on the ramp as risk of getting hit by lightning whenever there are numerous strikes near the airport. The weather could be just fine during a red alert.

Some Canadian news stories are starting to hint that the Canadian government is going to blame the Toronto's Pearson's Airport crash on "pilot error." It seems more and more governments are copying the way the FAA always blames pilots first when a plane crashes in a violent storm. If they blamed this crash, which occurred during a violent storm, on weather conditions, then the government would have to take the blame, "THE government" is responsible for the weather conditions? HAARP is more advanced than we believed. and liability, for allowing the plane to land. They are not about to do that. What the Toronto Airport operators did was declare a violent storm weather "red alert" and then left it up to the PILOT to make the decision whether or not to land!!! The captain is in command of his aircraft. He can choose to land, or to fly to another airfield,for which he is carrying sufficient fuel as mandated by aviation law. don't understand why pilots are allowed to make a life or death decision like this You don't understand a lot of things,Bill. A pilot's job is to make life and death decisions. That's why they get paid the big bucks. Thankfully they don't have to make them all the time, but we rely on them when the time comes. when they don't have the extensive weather information that people at the airport have. Why not? It's only a radio call away. If you knew even the first thing about aviation you would know that when approaching an airport to land, one of the first tasks a crew will complete is to obtain the latest weather for that airfield. And they have weather RADAR. Big picture screen right in front of them. Can't miss it. Get a clue Bill. how long have you been peddling this ****?

"The airport was under a "red alert," which indicates potential for
lightning and forces ground staff to remain indoors, but does not prevent planes from landing or taking off. " That's a quote from a news article. However, Birdstrike Bill is so ignorant of aviation that it doesn't register. R Polanski |
