Flightcaster manages to predict ten times as many delays as the airlines do. And they manage to stay 90% accurate (which is on par with the airlines).
They're equally accurate, but predict ten times as many delays? Doesn't that imply that only a negligible percentage of flights are successfully predicted as delayed by either party?
