comment discuter avec les OPS... l'Iphone meteo, of course

[flyrelax]

une pub assez amusante sur l' Iphone aux US, montrant un pilote coincé par des problèmes météos... ou autres, faisant sa préparation vol sur son Iphone au milieu de l'aérogare, contactant les OPS ... un peu excessif certes mais demain, qui sait ....

quote Airliners :

Has anyone seen the new iPhone commercial with "Bryce" the pilot? In it, he claims he's a pilot and he avoided a three hour delay on a flight from ORD-EWR by pulling up the weather on his iPhone and finding out the cause of the delay - allowing him to "correct" the dispatcher (it's better if you watch it, I can't really explain it.) Given the "walk up to our cameras and spill your heart out" style of the commercial, somewhat like the "Sincerely, jetBlue" ones, one can easily assume that it is a real anecdote. My question is, how plausible is the whole thing? Is it really possible that a dispatcher could have completely overlooked the cause of the delay and had there been no iPhone in the cockpit, everyone would have sat there twiddling their thumbs for all that time? I've always had the impression that dispatchers are one of the unsung heroes of making air travel work, and that they tend to be mavericks in finding solutions to solve problems caused by traffic, weather, etc, so I'm definitely skeptical that the whole situation occurred. Also, since when is Chicago to EWR only 1:42? I've never seen it scheduled for less than two hours !

On peut tres bien faire un ORD-EWR en moins de 2h..j'ai souvent fait des ORD/JFK en 1h30, avec un bon jet de l'ouest.
(pas programme, mais en temps reel.)

Comme le temps de vol programme ORD/CDG fait 8h, mais on en a fait de 6h45 avec un bon jet derriere nous.
