But I'm pretty sure that I save gas with WSI, which allows you to quickly visualize rapidly changing conditions and optimize your path. Especially the vertical component. Sometimes it's *really* nice to know exactly what's behind that hole you're contemplating taking a chance on.
there isint a doubt that having the tech helps tons. But some of us freight dogs don’t work for companies that are willing to invest in WiFi for two pilots. I agree it helps in saving gas and overall improvement of situational awareness. However, I haven’t used WiFi for the most part of my career and I haven’t died yet.
