It is nationwide, per ABC News and USA Today. FAA processing flight data manually creating greater intervals for departures and arrivals. JFK at 40 - 50% efficiency.

Yeah, that'd be a good idea. And then the damage award would be paid by taxpayers...which of course includes you, me and the airlines themselves.

Which would suck, but the government must be accountable for their actions.

They (read: we) have been paying for it for almost 20 years but like 99% of government programs, it is way over-budget and massively delayed. For the life of me, I do not understand why the government is in control of the ATC system and the airports. If they want to control security that is one issue, but this is absurd.

Just got a msg from the AP app (shameless iPhone plug!! :D ) that FAA systems are back up and running. But nevertheless the damage is probably already done on the network.

A rep from the FAA was just on NPR saying they are working this issue. As of now they are processing flight plans by hand.
