Why does the FAA persist in using a coded system for printed weather reports and forecasts? They act like kilobytes are expensive to transmit today... The last time I saw a teletype machine was in 1974. And the codes aren't even consistent, M for minus degrees in a METAR and - for minus degrees in a PIREP. Am I wrong in thinking this old system is confusing and therefore unsafe? -- Dallas
