00:00:00.000 | First off, we recently came back from a trip to Colorado.
00:00:02.560 | Just a few things happened that I thought were interesting.
00:00:04.840 | One, I've started using the Flighty app almost exclusively as the way I manage all of my travel plans with flights.
00:00:11.200 | The coolest thing happened, because Flighty is monitoring all the inbound aircraft and everything,
00:00:16.340 | I got an alert one hour before departure that they estimated that my departure would be pushed back by 15 or 20 minutes.
00:00:25.980 | And it took a full 40 minutes before the airline actually pushed back the departure to the exact time that Flighty was estimating they would.
00:00:34.520 | Now, it's no surprise that with all the data they have, they've probably learned when inbound aircrafts on this airline are delayed by this much at this airport,
00:00:43.280 | it results in a delayed departure time of this.
