It's not an issue of Wx disruptions. It is about communication.
Anyway as you say I am not a pilot. I am a critical care physician (who devoted significant time on these pages in early 2020 trying to explain what was coming down the pike). I use to be a DAME (that juice wasn't worth the squeeze), and also served with RAAF SR. I have many pilot friends (both QF and VA) with whom I sympathised during a long and uncertain furlough. So I believe I have slightly more than a passing everyday familiarity with aviation operations.
The airline front of house sucks. Don't blame me if it drags you down.
Anyway I'll leave you to it. At least I got more responses in 2 hours here than in 2 weeks from VA "customer service."
