On that topic....is there an official wait time they need to wait before moving onto the next in line for a GS? I believe it's 10 minutes, but not sure if that is an official number.
I guess GS w/conflict has no wait time....basically you don't answer, scheduling moves on.
Still learning the hard way after all these years.

And crews chomp at the bit to throw each other under the bus when it could easily happen to anyone. Meanwhile our 30-300M airliners have less resources and SA available to them than single engine piston aircraft, or our passengers in the back.

That way if something happens they can say "oh well you know you should have avoided that general area because it was possible".

For example, if winds coming off a cell are showing 85 knots, I'll pass at least 85 nm from the cell, but never less than 25 when above FL250. Also, I read that the flight was running about 90 minutes behind schedule. I wonder how much, if any, the pressure to make up time and get back on schedule played in this event. Here's an excellent tool I use in my flight planning: Storm Prediction Center Convective Outlooks
I hope some of this is helpful.
