Default IPhones to help ease delays?
Has anyone seen the IPhone comercial where the pilot is talking about his 3hr delay from ORD - EWR? Basicly the pilot says,he pulled up the weather with his IPhone, saw the weather had passed the field. So they called dispatch, and soon after tower cleared them for take off...

That's just great. Now we are going to have every pax with a PDA telling us to call dispatch!!

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

we should all get the company to issue us IPhones so we can FINALLY see what the radar is. Can't believe the airlines never tried this before.

You posted it before I could.

I sure hope the guy wasn't really a pilot. Talk about a disservice to the cause!

Sadly the iPhone is more technologically advanced than anything in aviation, seriously.

This guy is a tool bag and deserves to be beaten. This jacka$$ forgot to tell us about how the iPhone can also predict ATC delays and routing changes.

what's the problem?

i use my iPhone all the time. it's great for ground stops and delays. let's me know what i'm in for. also good for a stranded commuter.

it's just a commercial. don't waste your blood pressure on it.

besides, it's a great device.

apparently he's some guy named Bryce that flies for United
