During the discussion on the El Faro the subject of the NWS forecast and how they may have shaped perception of the weather situation, a legitimate topic in my view. One member however posted that we shouldn’t blame the NWS. Didn’t occur to me to “blame” the NWS. If they have some responsibility it would be a matter of checking to see if they meet NWS standards. Beyond that perhaps the standards need to be changed which the NTSB recently recommended.
