Is that how y'all interpret it?
That's wishful thinking. For the foreseeable future Delta is committed to the Surface. In fact, they're regretting including the iPad because it's complicating an already overtaxed IT department trying to accommodate two different platforms.

It is if there isn't a stripper pole too

A 30-minute delay is a fairly long time.
Late to the discussion, but...

I try to get a peek at the Intellicast Radar loops to see what's happening, both domestic and the Global satellite loops. Helps me plan ahead...and get my courage up! ;-)

I live on Lake Redwine and my lake house is for sale. Pm me if you want to chat about the neighborhood/house... I've lived here for 7yrs and it is great... but I'm unable to resist the pull of SoCal!

Amazing. That would be his last leg with me in the jet. Don't care if it is at an outstation with hundreds waiting to get somewhere but the jet will be parked and the brakes set. I can find my way back home.

This job is just too dang fun without having to deal with $hit heads like him.

I usually do the same, and the picture that's left looping on the iPhone is worth a thousand words.

Of course, the guy in 4C on Gogo is getting about 3-4,000 words worth of current info.

So I just turn off the radar, and trust the Captain. New York Captains are very good at looking into a storm, and determining the best path.

I never do, but I heard from a friend that you can view radar in flight on your phone using gogo without ever signing in. Best wx radar available.
