On Delta the flight notification system is tremendously effective, providing constant and useful updates on flight delays and cancellations.

I wonder why CO couldn't have a similar system?
This functionality does exist in the CO system, but it is somewhat random in when the notifications are sent. It is far more reliable for mainline flights. I have received 10+ notifications on a delayed mainline flight in many cases, with updates to departure / arrival time as they changed on the flight status page.
