High Winds over North Atlantic

[asd123]

I was looking at Ryan Maue's tweets and stumbled upon the record high winds of 240 knot winds at 250 mb pressure level.

This is at cruising altitude of many airliners, and is along the path of many U.S.-Europe bound flights. Would an airplane make it through that mean swath of winds in one piece?

Edit: I found out that airplanes fly more at the 200 mb level. Here is a map of the 200 mb level winds: http://www.intellicast.com/Storm/Hurric ... nds24.aspx. Some of the area that was on Maue's twitter page is not visible, but there are still ferocious winds visible on the Intellicast map with the link I provided. Even though you can't see the full scope of the high winds with the Intellicast map, you could still deduce from the pattern of the Intellicast map that the 200 mb winds are not too much lighter than the 250 mb winds seen on Maue's Twitter page.
