computer outage
Sitting here in DTW waiting on my flight to leave to atlanta and they are telling us there is some FAA server outage and they can't do a flight plan - yet it seems NW flights are leaving. Anyone run into this today?
|
ATCSCC isn't reporting anything on a national level...might be a DL thing?

If it was just a delta thing the pilot is lying to us which id be pissed about. Supposedly flight plans made before a certain time can continue. It looks like it may be a nasty day in DL land. |
I see that our flights are experiencing the same thing in ATL but DL doesn't make our flight plans, so must be FAA related.

Typical government - critical system and no backup. The airlines should sue for lost revenue.

I actually just heard about it on The Weather Channel.

I got bit by this too; currently sitting on the ground in CHS trying to get to Atlanta. Pilot indicated a delay of "at least 20 minutes."

Looking at ATL flight departures, there are a number of cancelled flights to LaGuardia, Newark, Washington DC, Baltimore etc.
Flight arrivals are also delayed. My normal flight from RDU is running 2 hrs behind this morning. |

On top of everything we are ready to go and there is a security breach at DTW - the government is batting. 000 today!
|
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.

Since this has direct utility only for those flying planes, perhaps the U.S. airlines should stop dragging their feet and agree to fund, in part, the NextGen navigation systems.

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.
http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20091119/..._flight_delays not a good day to be trying to fly, wonder how long it'll take to get the system back to 'normal'.... Bob H |
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.
