, fog delays can be so frustrating! I totally agree on the importance of safety drills to keep the crew ready. It’s annoying when conditions get in the way of a good trip, but better safe than sorry. Has anyone tried using tech like visibility sensors to help navigate through these situations?

Fog can really feel like nature’s way of giving us an unexpected delay, kind of like waiting for your coffee in the morning! It’s crucial we keep our crew sharp with regular drills — maybe even simulate a ‘foggy day’ during training. Makes me wonder, what other innovative training ideas have people tried to prepare for unexpected situations?
