Interesting, as I have an active account (ADS-B data feed) with them and never got this email.

You will probably still get it then. I only got it 3 hours ago. And the first tweets are almost 2 days old.

They seem to use some email delivery service that can't handle sending an email to all users within an hour.

Jeez, that's terrible...

It's terrible for end users, bit to be fair here a domain that sends little mail suddenly sending a lot looks like spam. Ciscos sender base for example graphs long term volume per domain as a key indicator, and their data feeds into several mail services. You're much more likely to at least get the email this way.

If they really cared about reaching users they might also want to put something on their website. There's absolutely nothing there.

I can't confirm that's the reason, but I don't see why they would drip send it otherwise. Also the reply-to email is bounces+MYEMAILADDRESS@bounces.flightaware.com (@ replaced by =)

Same, but I tried logging in and got the reset your password popup because of a breach.

> Additional information was sent to you via email

Got the same prompt when I logged in - no email despite their insistence they sent it.

It probably _has_ been sent, it just hasn't _arrived_ yet!
