With the exception of briefers with local metrological knowledge as we
had before the FSS privatization, what do you think we're going to
like about the new FSS?

Being from Australia, where Flight Service was abolished about 20 years
ago, the fact the we still have Flight Service is good. I have noticed
that they are getting better. I can get a briefing at the flying club
now quicker that I can get the information up on DUAT.The phone at the
club is right in front of the computer. I'd rather have a bit of
change, than no Flight Serice. I did experience some not so helpful
briefers with the old flight service. There was one guy who should have
been a race caller, he talked so fast.
