I think it was a co-worker who told me about flying once from one of the main NYC airports down to Raleigh or Charlotte and they’d been delayed, delayed, delayed by weather. Finally the pilots decided to Leroy Jenkins it and do the entire flight under 10k feet and using the weather radar to maneuver around storms that were dotting the east coast that day. I’m sure it was more formal than I’m remembering but he said it was by far the most unusual commercial flight he’d ever taken. This was within the last 15 years or so, well past when that was common.
