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.

As Bill Sees It: (Editorial) Toronto Crash Investigation To Ignore Weather
Problems And Blame The Pilot? 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 ****?

Because Birdstrike Bill has an Internet ISP connection, that's how! :-)

It's just 'what he does'. Can't be changed.

"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.
