Why would it matter if it showed weather? As long as it shows the departure time, arrival time, speed, etc. 99% of the users (as not everyone is FT or a.net people) it gets the job done.

I also don't see how it has anything to do with cost cutting...especially considering a lot of money was just invested into the new site and the new reservations platform that will soon be introduced. How is it an advertisement for Google? They are entitled to show their logo, just as FlightView is/was entitled to do so...that's business.
