Thats half my point.
It seems the ATIS gets changed for the meanial changes but when something occurs which really does affect how WE fly an approach it is not.
Almost like a cry wolf scenario,i don't know how many times we have loooked at one another in amazement trying to figure out WHY the ATIS was changed in the first place. Then you have an incident like the other day where conditions where that bad and no-one notices whats happening outside the glass.
Its very easy to get the impression that we are serving ATC and not the other way around.
