The Register reports a classical fail today – the failure by the FAA to automaticly load flights which has lead to delays to services today as flight plans aren’t being loaded.
Problems kicked off at 05:06, and whilst radio and radar are uneffected, Air Traffic Control Systems are having to load the rest of the flight plan data manually.
Oopsie.
At time of writing, EWR, LGA, PHL, DCA, IAD, and ATL are having problems, with also poor weather in the NY Region too.
It’s just a lesson to us all who work with computers to check your schedudles are working, that everything is tested and working…
No problems yesterday on my LHR-YYZ… the Canadaians obviously don't make such basic mistakes! 😉
Hmm. Didn't South Park teach us to "Blame Canada" though? 😉 I wonder what's that all… about? 😉
… they're not even a real county anyway… ;-):-D
