You're probably the type that then follows his overflight with a pirep of Severe Turbulence at FL380.
Do you even know how high you should be when you top a 40000' cell?
Classic! The reel is making that high pitched whine as the line plays out indicating your multi hooked line has snagged more than one. You make sure your harness is snug before the full weight of your 1000lb test line is tested.........I've topped a 40000' cell going east at 41000'.

That should stick out like a sore thumb...and really make the rest of the METAR so obvious, you almost don't need to read it...[FONT=Monospace,Courier]KDFW 100841Z 25053G65KT 1 3/4SM R17C/3000VP6000FT -TSRA SQ SCT024 BKN028 OVC043CB 23/19 RMK AO2 PK WND 24065/0840 TSB20RAB0759 FRQ LTGIC DSNT W TS W MOVG E P0000[/FONT]
DFW would go groundstop in a heartbeat. The closest thing they have to accommodate 25053G65KT are the 31's...and 25035KT is a 31KT right cross on 31L. DFW can handle most everything...except extreme East/West winds straight across the field.It has to be blowing up some runway in Dallas. They got runways pointing everywhere.
ATR should handle it, no problem.
I've actually topped level 5's before and while it is always bumpy, we get the passengers to their destination on time and we end up saving a lot gas.
The mentality of yours is exactly the reason I will never ride on an RJ with a 300 hr wonder in the right seat. I'll go two states out of my way just to stay on mainline, typically Southwest.
The same kind of things has happened at all different types of carriers and at all levels of experience.No thanks to the RJ's man. Gimme SWA anyday!!

Yea, about the only thing you have to worry about on a SouthWest flight is running off the runway.

Haven't we all looked back on a flight and said to ourselves, "I'll never do that again?"
I like GuppyWNs comment about experience being an accumulation of things that don't kill you.
I've been over worse.

I never got over Macho Grande....
I thought instructordude was flying at Delta mainline now?
