Weather; Procedure
ATC cleared aircraft to turn right to SLVAA intersection for ILS PRM 27L to ATL. As aircraft commenced turn copilot requested a slow turn to avoid weather. Captain queried controller and controller denied request. Crew continued turn and adjusted speed for weather penetration. Crew continued and landed uneventfully.This is a continuing trend where ATL controllers fail to grant weather deviations around hazardous weather. Of all the ATC facilities in the US; Atlanta is the one that continues to push the envelope and compromise flight safety. Moreover ATL knows of this problem and continues to deny its existence.
Air carrier Captain reported A80 controllers refuse to grant weather deviations around hazardous weather.
