But what are their specific responsibilities, and how do they help get the plane where it needs to go?
Southwest Airlines Chief Meteorologist David Dillahunt joins the podcast to explain how he and his team support day-to-day air traffic decisions, including delays, reroutes, and cancellations. We also talk about what types of weather are the biggest concerns for airlines and why flying first thing in the morning is usually the best decision during the summer. This is a must-listen before your next flight (or on the plane!).
