Obviously you can't predict these sorts of things. The question I have is how do these events affect FC's business? Did they notice a significant drop in app sales for the day?<p>As a somewhat related aside, I recently had the displeasure of taking a U.S Airways flight to Indy which stopped at Charlotte. The weather in Charlotte was foggy, which meant that our plane was put in a holding pattern until planes were cleared to land. Unfortunately during our 20-30 minute holding pattern, the pilot said the plane was running out of fuel and had to divert to Myrtle Beach. By the time we refueled and flew back to Charlotte I of course missed my connection and all others were sold out. So I had to sleep overnight in the airport because USAir doesn't put people up in hotels and wait for a flight out in the morning.<p>There are many unpredictable events in flying that you can't forecast. These events don't fit the models. But you can give context. A good example was a road trip I took to New Orleans. As I was driving down I-10 I checked my Google Maps app on my Iphone, and it showed red lines indicating lots of traffic was fast approaching. I quickly recalculated another route using side-roads and completely by-passed the congestion.<p>If FC can devise something similar (I don't know what that would look like) I would pay big big money for that.
