So 4 hours into your transcon or NAT crossing its about worthless.
Give us a windy style app that updates while we are in the cockpit.
Billy Joe Bob has better info available to him in his cessna 150 than we do flying multi million dollar aircraft.
Sad.
Winds aloft forecasts don't change significantly that often. You can slide to the next effective Zulu time on the bottom. Since you aren't pulling out a wizz wheel every time you do a reroute, a few knots and a few degrees difference between the 00 and 06z issue time aren't going to make a difference.
