@Schnuez pilots always try to avoid severe weather. Its much cheaper to pay for the fuel instead of paying OJI for cabin crew or medical bills for pax that get bounced off the ceiling. If the FAA found out about an airline putting pressure on their pilots to fly through "heavy weather" they would shut them down until they resolved that training issue.
you are perfectly right. There are times when u are surrounded by bad weather (not talking about severe ones) and u navigate trough the red dots on your weather radar. Weatherforcasts can not allways predict local thunderstorms accuratly. (in my language "heavy weather" means a little less bad than in english)
@aviator147 If you look on his radar they're skirting the edge, its probably a bit to close for a legacy carrier but ok for a LCC. Its also important to remember that you don't have to be in the TS for St Elmo's fire, just near enough to build static and preferably in wet snow/ice.
The electrical bolts arent st elms fire, but the red flashes are.

I was going to ask what type of aircraft this is but now I see it's a 777 from one of the comments. COOL instrument panel!

I'm not a pilot just cabin crew. But if I remember right there are times you have to fly trough heavy weather. (fuel is expensive nowadays)

@nrcsst. Your comment about legacy and LCC is laughable. Let me guess your a private pilot.
