I'm flying out for a cruise tomorrow which leaves Friday afternoon. It cost about the same to fly the day before and stay in an airport hotel as flying the day of. Told the wife I'd rather get there early than miss the boat because of unexpected shit like this…hail me as a prophet, GAF

I try and do the same but it rarely goes wrong so I don't look like a prophet only a worry wart
 
Is this old IBM technology with ancient programming or what? I've read about some incredibly rare IBM programming languages before.
 
Knowing governments and federal agencies. This system probably runs on a old minicomputer from the 60s. It failing was most likely just a matter of time.
 
I want to know how it happened.

Glad they fixed this shit, hopefully the disruptions are minimized and cleared out today

some are speculating that the glitch was caused by this retarded march of wokeism.

NOTAM was somewhat recently changed from "Notice to Airmen" to "Notices to Air Mission" cause weirdos deemed it problematic. And there's speculation that they pushed some software code to reflect that and may have caused the glitch. So far the only thing confirmed is that some data file got corrupted as well as the backup.

dude... wtf is going on.
I think they actually explained it quite well
"The concerns came as a result of FAA not receiving Aeronautical Information Services data from foreign air navigation service providers [ANSPs — Canada, Russia, Mexico] in a timely enough fashion to keep up with our new 56-day charting cycle," AOPA communications director, Eric Blinderman says. "That lag could have resulted in foreign data being as much as one chart cycle behind."
Ie, better to have no data than false data.
