So I just saw for the first time this Apple - iPhone commercial where a pilot (or some crew member that could be one) is standing there telling us that his iPhone was able to get a more accurate, quick and up to date weather forcast than ground control. Ground control had this 1.5hr Chicago flight on a 3hr delay due to weather and so he checked his iPhone and called them to ask them to double check. They did so on his advice and then reduced the delay to 30 minutes.
I find it all hard to believe. It's false advertising.
Of course if it is true/possible, then I'm really pissed at the ground control people, because they obviously could do a better job reducing delays!
