As someone who holds a commercial pilots license but works in software development, I'd love to find a hybrid job solving problems I'm aviation with tech.
It seems to me that there is less turbulence in the last 10-15 years. Does anyone know off hand whether this is the case?

This article sounds like an ad, but in any case cutting cost and achieving higher customer satisfaction are all good things so props to Delta for that. However, I have to wonder why the article makes it seem like only Delta is using data for turbulence avoidance and not other big players. Is this a relatively new thing when it comes to Big Data in airlines? Edit: This is an ad after all > This post contains reference…
The notice about affiliate links may not have anything to do with Delta. The Points Guy has an affiliate-driven revenue model, so that notice might appear before all of his posts.
I have no idea what they're referring to in terms of app or model, but Foreflight (most common EFB app on the market at the moment) has had this feature for maybe a year and is IPad only... So is this just a huge Delta ad there they're basically saying "yay, we use Foreflight"?

That doesn’t mean it’s an ad. It’s not sponsored content. It means Delta buys ads on the site.
Since I was there on a calm day so the big wall screens (shown on the header of the article) were showing a Basketball game... :)

I’m hardly an aviation buff, but I’ve learned to identify these things by their sound from inside my house, which is 20 miles from the nearest airport (occasional departures fly over at roughly 10,000 feet).
Those old low-bypass JT8D engines make so much damn low-frequency noise. Every time I hear and feel that infrasonic rumble I think “must be an MD80”, and sure enough, if I check Flightradar24 it’s always one of those loud suckers, and always operated by Delta.
