Apparently ORD had an issue with FAA equipment so there have been a lot of cancellations there. I was wondering if this would change my flight and it has. AS32 SEA-PHL is taking a great circle route south adding 50 minutes or so. Glad the upgrade cleared.

What other issues is AS encountering due to ORD airspace being shut down?
