I see the rumor and speculation on this board no different than looking at the destination WX before you launch...

You have no control over the WX
You probably will go anyways
Its just a forecast so its subject to change, it might be better, it might be worse.

Looking at the WX before you launch helps you formulate a plan (or many plans) instead of just pressing on and finding out at the last minute that things are different from what you expected...

I can't see how as a pilot you wouldn't want to do the same thing with this industry...

YMMV
