I retired in “09” (777 IAH) and at that point in time the cockpit crew would meet in the WX Room, pick up the papers, review the info and weather, and then proceed to the aircraft.
I was wondering… Is that still the drill, or do you guys receive all of your weather and dispatch paperwork on iPads now? (They were just starting to talk about it back when I retired.)
Second question… Do you guys ever use the various toolsets available at the government’s NOAA - Aviation Weather Center website or do you just stick with your Dispatch brief?

If you’re not using it already… you might want to check out the NOAA - Traffic Flow Management Portal as well. Tons of interesting info at the touch of a button.
