Wasn't the computer codes changed when FAA renamed the NOTAM (...AM was 'Air Men' now 'Air Mission')

#18  Normally, I'd agree with you guys but since I worked in the FAA (computer systems) I know that the suits have nothing to do with the running of the NAS. Thank God. Blame a technician or engineer, we did all the work anyway. Set your sights on a real target.
Or STFU!

#15  ^ I'm no fan of Jones, but I'm sure he wished he could have convinced the court he was snarking over Sandy Hook.

#14  Oh, ok. Ha, sort of Alex Jones light, but still worth watching.

#13  ^ I was snarking there.

#11  "Uranium in someone's carry on.."

Imagine how that would light up the TSA X-Ray scanners?

#9  The Public will have to wait a few days for the Paul Harvey version of this.

Unexpected outage after a patch was installed to allow elite private jets to fly "off the radar."

#8  Managed Decline can become total chaos/anarchy very quickly given the near total dysfunction of this govt. The only thing still functioning in DC is the graft.

#7  FAA lifts ground order on flights after two-and-a-half hours: White House says 'no evidence of cyberattack' behind computer failure that delayed at least 4,000 flights and halted America's air traffic for the first time since 9/11

#4  Just another shinning example of government efficiency and why we need to put all of our trust in it and let it run every aspect of our lives.

#3  Luckily, Pete BootyJudge gets to travel on "private" FAA jets

#2  This affects a LOT more travelers than the Southwest debacle, yet without the excoriation from the press.

#1  Another triumph for the Secretary of Transportation.
