I dont' know..but those GAs sure don't like to tell you the truth when the planes are delayed,and it's usually weather related.

I remember one time meeting a friend of mine in DTW, I saw the status of the NW flight as being delayed, when at the gate area...i noticed that no mention of the delays! I kinda mentioned this to him...he said,"nosense, I heard nothing from the Gate!"

And lo' behold 5 mins later...the GA announced that the flight will be delayed for 30 mins! No explanation of the delay at all! Now, i dont know what the GAs were looking at...but i would think that the NW's web will not be as realtime as the GA's systems! While they didn't lie...they sure didn't tell the truth
