I’m an IFR pilot and the pilot community at Orcas Island has been increasingly frustrated with trying to figure out if there will be an IFR delay when you’re on the ground with your engine running looking for your departure clearance into Boeing field. You can call approach beforehand, they’ll tell you it’s fine, then suddenly you’re delayed anyway and can’t leave for an hour. Not quite a slam dunk but some better awareness. I’m ingesting around 130 messages from FAA per second to provide this.
