I was trained in that too.
However, there are many websites out there that will decode them for you (at least in a manner good enough for a non-pilot). So my point still stands.
Reminds me of a certain other forum I lurk on where if there's an incident, you're guaranteed to get some armchair investigator posting a TAF/METAR even if the weather is CAVOK with a mild breeze. Grrr.....

Indeed.

The state of BA and its fleet, its place in the current marketplace. New routes. Useful tips & advice. All sorts... but anything other than the stuff you listed above.
