What’s going on with the FAA

[sonrisa]

And cancelled/ delayed flights?

I just saw this on Twitter. Looks like a massive system crash, but details are sketchy at best. Probably won't know more for at least a few hours 😕

From CNN:


The United States was facing another major aviation disruption on Wednesday as the Federal Aviation Administration ordered a halt to all domestic flight departures after the system providing pilots with pre-flight safety notices went offline.
The FAA said in a statement it had ordered airlines to pause all domestic departures until 9 a.m. Eastern Time while it tried to restore its NOTAMS -- or Notice to Air Missions -- system.
"We are performing final validation checks and repopulating the system now," an earlier FAA statement said. "Operations across the National Airspace System are affected. We will provide frequent updates as we make progress."

Watching intently as I am supposed to fly today at 3pm. I thought I saw things were back and running.

Some coworkers of mine had their flight delayed leaving Houston.

I don't know, but a lot of people are saying it's Mayor Pete's fault (/sarcasm)

Were you all good? My 3pm flight out of DC was cancelled. I was rebooked on the 930 and now it’s delayed. Fingers crossed this one doesn’t get cancelled too.

I will beat this drum. The US infrastructure is shit. Air, rail, road, electricity, internet, communication, and on and on. I have no solutions, but I recognize the problem.

I was! Thanks. I'm sorry you are dealing with a mess. Did you make it?

I did! It was delayed, so it didn’t take off until close to 11pm, but I was just happy to be on board 😊
