PM, when there's turbulence, who makes the decision to radio ATC for a different altitude to check for clearer air? Is it the captain, or is it a mutual decision? Is it totally up to the pilot's discretion? I recently flew in China and it felt like the pilots didn't care if there was turbulence, they were given an altitude and were going to stick with it (probably just my perception).

How much leeway is there in flying around thunderstorms?

You mentioned that you fly 737s - are there big differences between the old 737s and the new ones? Are you rated to fly only certain models of them?
