Yes, of course, who wouldn't just believe random statements from the worst prepared admin in history of America.

That would make me feel better if we could trust a damn word from this administration and I wasn’t on a plane waiting to land.

The good news is this outage is not impacting approach or ground control so you’re safe.

Except some airports haven't enough free gates for disembarking as planes that wanted to take off were denied. So they tried to go back to their gates. As a result some planes in the air are being diverted to less-busy airports.

Sounds safe, just extremely inconvenient.

John Wayne, a class C (the approach mentioned above) isn't even letting VFRs go. If it's actually limited to ARTCC I don't know why that would be.

Thanks, bud - very reassuring that some minimum bid contract shop built something on a “secure” network they can’t even keep up.

It's also the corporations that are not exactly telling the truth & funding the administrations, just FTR...

The destructive & arrogant behaviors won't be reigned in properly if we all fail to recognize that, just FTR.

If it's working correctly, anyway

Until it got out of its sandbox…

Sure, but the tool needs to get information from the communication systems, and if it's badly written maybe it could overload some system components.

That's just a scenario off the top of my head, it could be a lot of stuff. Plugging something new into an old, complicated system isn't risk free.
