Who needs weather when you've got a compass!
Who needs weather when you've got a compass.
Because that wouldn't be the same rationale. Not even close.
Well then, using the same rationale, how about fining the FAA for not providing free ADS-B weather and traffic to all aircraft, versus black-mailing us by only providing it to ADS-B out equipped aircraft.
I agree Jerry, it is completely in their capability to provide it, but chose not to in order to encourage quicker ADS-B out compliance, putting many at un-warranted risk.
Doesn't DL provide WX to its flights and DL Connection flights?
Each regional contracted by their mainline partner is responsible for their own paperwork (fuel planning, weather, alternates, etc). Nothing is provided by mainline except the aircraft....
...but asking here about who provides the WX info them in the first place. Few carriers have their own meteorology department; many depend on the government or private providers. [Mainline doesn't always provide the aircraft as many regionals own or lease some.]
