I flew the windshear escape and recovery with the most precision I've ever flown an airplane... but a lack of assertiveness due to prior traffic reports helped me get the plane in that position in the first place. I could see the weather was getting worse... The one thing I will never forgive myself for is not calling uncle earlier. Even more amazing was hearing other airlines continue to want to go take a look after us!
