Very valid point indeed....as for germanys airports - they are closing or shriking as well. Most forecasts done on computer based models - and getting worse than their human resource made counterparts.

I loved the wx radar screen we had at my homebase, one could judge much bette wether to depart or not and it was just a 2 minutes walk awya from our parking stand. Now gone together with the wx blokes. Stupid WX Terminals brought in, you get an update every 30 to 60 minutes...
