So, my efforts to give you the best accurate ETA, the latest actual weather and the forecast are totally wasted on you?

The ETA comes straight from my Flight Management Computer sitting 12 inches away and will be accurate as long as ATC play ball, something I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

The weather comes from the observations in the tower and the relevant Bureau of Meteorology forecast for the airport, once again something I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER.

I only tell you the best info I have at the time, I don't lie. If you think you know better or don't want to know anything then that's your prerogative. Fortunately most punters like to know the ETA and what the weather is where they are going.

Here's a tip, next time tell the crew you don't wish to know any in-flight information and the Captain isn't to waste your precious time bothering to tell you over some ****ty PA. Don't worry about the other 300 people that do care.

Thanks I feel really appreciated.
