With spring and summer come seasonal storms! While most people think snowstorms are the most devastating on your operation, thunderstorms wreak just as much, if not more havoc. Their propensity to burn up, switch direction, and close the ramp down with lightening threats make them an unpredictable wild card.

That’s why keeping an eye on crew show-times and weather delays is a key factor in maintaining operational integrity. It can be tempting to keep focus elsewhere since weather delays can be fluid, but once pushed back, departure time rarely goes forward. If you monitor push times and proactively call crews to change show times, you can buy yourself a lot more legality in the long run, which helps keep staffing levels sufficient, even during a tropical depression.
