PlaneBuzz: We Knew This Was Going To Happen: iPhone Equipped Passenger Takes On Flight Crew Over Weather

[Cavi Mike]

Not like I'm trying to defend the iPhone but what does it really have to do with it? I check TWC all the time from my BlackBerry, I need to when I drive a ragtop. If I needed to check airport condtions, I'd check them, too. I think this brings to light the fact that airlines may be trying to lie about why their flights are always delayed. I read that the average amount of late/delayed flights in the US was 30% and ports like JFK and Laguardia are over 50%. Who wants to pay hundereds of dollars just to miss what they went for? It's just more big business trying to rack up more money they don't deserve and I'm really going to have a hard time seeing otherwise.

Lol... looks like apple dug their own grave with that commercial. Although that could have happened to anyone who has a baller phone and saw that commercial. Shit I check the weather 24/7 on my crackberry. But I hate flying so I'll never be "that guy"

when i was flying all the time, I used to check the weather and what not from my old palm, but most of the time I knew why flights were delayed, and a little courtesy to the crew goes a long way.

I agree that flight delays are ridiculous these days.

"If the passenger with the IPhone would be kind enough to use it to check the weather at our alternate, calculate our fuel burn due to being rerouted around the storms, call the dispatcher to arrange our release, and then make a phone call to the nearest Air Traffic Control center to arrange our timely departure amongst the other aircraft carrying passengers with IPhones, then we will be more than happy to depart. Please ring your call button to advise the Flight Attendant and your fellow passengers when you deem it ready and responsible for this multi-million dollar aircraft and its passengers to safely leave."






HAHAHAAHHA

The iPhone is the only phone where you can check the weather.
