ZBW CTLR CONCERNED WITH FAA; CENTRAL FLOW FACILITY RESPONSE TO WX REROUTING FROM NATIONAL PLANNED PROGRAM.

Narrative

CENTRAL FLOW CTL ISSUED A TEST RERTE FOR APPROX 7 ACFT INTO TORONTO CTR. THE NEW RTE FLOWN BY THESE ACFT PUT THE ACFT DIRECTLY INTO AN AREA OF SEVERE WX IN THE AREA OF GREEN BAY; WI. THE WX WAS BROUGHT TO MY ATTN BY THE FIRST OF THE RERTED ACFT. THE PLT ADVISED ME HIS COMPANY HAD SENT HIM A MESSAGE IN REGARDS TO THE WX. THE PLT REQUESTED TO RETURN TO THE ORIGINAL FLT PLANNED RTE. WHEN THE SECOND ACFT HEARD THE FIRST ACFT'S REQUEST; HE ASKED TO DO THE SAME. THE THIRD ACFT; ALSO HAVING HEARD THE OTHER TWO; ALSO REQUESTED TO RETURN TO HIS ORIGINAL FLT PLAN VIA SYR. I BROUGHT THESE REQUESTS FOR RERTES TO THE ATTN OF MY SUPVR; WHO THEN FORWARDED A REQUEST TO CENTRAL FLOW TO STOP ISSUING THE RERTE. ALSO; MY SUPVR REQUESTED THE PREVIOUS SECTOR AND AREA TO ISSUE THE ORIGINAL RTE TO ALL THE ACFT INVOLVED IN THE TEST. CENTRAL FLOW DENIED THE REQUEST TWICE; EVEN THOUGH IT WAS BROUGHT TO THEIR ATTN THIS WAS A RERTE AT THE REQUEST OF THE PLTS. THIS PROC SHOULD BE TERMINATED IMMEDIATELY TO AVOID FURTHER INCREASE TO OUR WORKLOAD AND TO FURTHER AVOID CONFUSION ABOUT SEVERE WX.
