Someone tell me why there should not be a centralized weather posting for all airlines and PUBLIC to reference. It would stop the lying when they really do not want to fly an unprofitable flight. </font>

You can see FAA weather delays here:

http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyFAA/index.html

At crowded airports, it doesn't take much weather to cause problems. Just a low cloud cieling will mean that aircraft spacing will have to be increased. This means flights will be delayed and/or cancelled. To a person on the ground, or to the tv weatherman, a low cloud cieling may not be noticed or mentioned. So just becuase your mother/wife/friend didn't see any problems with the weather, doesn't mean that the weather wasn't a problem.
