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.
