If “the vast majority … are predictable”, why wouldn’t the airline pilot warn the passengers in advance?

- ec109685 2y agoPilots warn about upcoming turbulence all the time. Sometimes so much they don’t do food and beverage service because they are worried about it.
- marze 2y agoThis flight experienced "clear air" turbulence. Such turbulence is not visible on radar and is not predictable. Turbulence due to weather is what you are talking about.
