Are you saying TAFs are the only decision making tool available to dispatch and pilots ?

Are you aware of the exact reasons why a weather forecaster does or does not include what is in a TAF ? How many TAFs have you written ?

No need to answer I can already tell based on your reply that the answers are No, No and 0. You'll probably try to invent some ridiculous reasoning to defend your position including some kind of rant about how WX forecasters are paid to be wrong when really you and most other pilots and dispatch have no idea how and why a WX forecaster says what they say.

That's ok though. That is why I signed up for this part time gig, to better bridge that gap. You'd think however that since most pilots are fairly smart people they would be smart enough to **** when they don't know WTF they are talking about... but we all know how that goes
