This was bound to happen. It’s not just aging equipment. Multiple sources indicate that between 300 and 400 FAA employees were terminated, primarily probationary support‑staff roles, during Donald Trump’s administration.
The only surprising thing is Trump hasn’t (yet) blamed Biden. Or Obama.
And, most importantly—- "We call it S.I." bitches!
Hmmm....Secretary Duffy denies the FAA's SMART AI-based air-traffic control system had anything to do with the "communications" failure. The new system came online at all 22 affected en route centers two days before the outage, and according to the National Air Traffic Controllers Association (NATCA), they were "...not involved in the “design, testing, or implementation of SMART..." Coincidence? Maybe. Kakistocracy? Definitely. https://gizmodo.com/the-faa-is-rolling-out-its-ai-air-traffic-tool-nationwide-2000839347
Just when AI ... sorry, Jay, SI ... is annoyingly appearing, without my approval, all over my Outlook it went down globally. I've used Outlook 'forever' and I don't recall that happening before. I haven't drilled down on what they say the cause was because I'm not going to believe it anyway. Then, also this past week AI ... oops, SI ... is implemented within air traffic control systems in the U.S. and within days 100% of planes are grounded. I don't mean to imply anything bc I don't understand all this tech crap, but last night as this was being discussed on the news I heard reports from some of the speakers that they also noticed the same coincidence. So I put on a NetFlix comedy thinking that I would maybe learn this morning that it was an SI oops (which I doubt anyone would admit), or a cyber attack, or we'd just hear big fat 'liar, liar pants on fire' BS explanations as per usual. I wish the rats would abandon the ship instead of trying to run it. There's a lot of these 'outages' that could really, really hurt us this winter. The old equipment is past it's shelf life and the new tech is not ready for prime time. I'd like to see more money, tech, effort, focus going into getting things sorted out here on earth rather than in the Outer Limits. And definitely billionaires have lots to choose from in terms of philanthropy. In terms of the airline grounding, I'm not clear on who'll be suing whom but the courts must be SO busy these days!!
I’d love to see an interview w Pete B. I don’t trust any of the admin talking.

As usual, this was well done.

My Dear Mr. President:
A competent president would hire only competent people. But ‘we’ didn’t ‘hire’ a competent president back in ’24. We hired you.
So yesterday’s stupid air traffic ground stop is really on us.
Regards,
