• Newark Airport Blacks Out AGAIN - AND Atlanta

    This is at least the 3rd time in barely a week.

    One ATC was heard telling the planes that if
    they were sick of this shit they should get
    their corps to pressure the govt.

    NO ... do NOT think she should be fired in
    this case. This is getting DANGEROUS and
    any pressure from anywhere IS gonna be
    needed to get fixes funded and rolling fast.

    Also, ATLANTA went down hard for a longer
    period. That's THE hub.

    Kinda wonder if we're seeing deliberate
    sabotage here - maybe Vlad ???

    Wondering ... what does the MILITARY do
    for ATC these days if it moves into an
    area ? Clearly they have to slap up a
    fair system almost overnight. How do
    they DO that - what hardware, what systems,
    what operators ???

    Musk IS right here though, the current stuff -
    some dating to the late 60s apparently - is
    LONG GONE OBSOLETE. It's kind of a great
    homage to geeks past that it IS still being
    used daily - BUT .........

    Saw a news blurb yesterday showing some of the
    current hardware - for those who know, there
    was a MAGNETIC-CORE MEMORY BOARD in one box ...
    that's little magnet rings hand-strung onto
    a grid of wires, WAY 60s ........ you have to
    be pretty old to even RECOGNIZE that on
    sight anymore ........

    When I was rather young I visited a science
    museum near Boca Raton. One of the exhibits
    was an IBM 360 ... including a roughly one
    cubic meter 'memory unit' packed full of
    those cores. I think it was a whopping eight
    KILO-bytes, or maybe just four ... no
    RAM *chips* back then .........

    If you want scary, look up "rope memory" - it
    ran the Apollo lunar lander computer ......

    Try DOGE.

    Elon's already pulled the plug on the FAA's contract with Verizon which >>>>>> was a systems upgrade ...



         Just wait until this summer when
    the travel surge hits and airport after
    airport closes for lack of ATC personel.
    The ones Trump fired.

         So much winning!

    Which ATC personnel were fired? It certainly wasn't controllers.

    The ones who maintain the gear that's now breaking down.


    -hh

    While the FAA DOES have it's own tech force, much of the critical gear is maintained
    by the vendors.
    IBM in particular because the gear is proprietary and 3rd parties, like the FAA, do not
    have access to the same materials that IBM does.
    Your proof of this is... ...what?

    20+ years in the IT biz......

    And you?

    P.S. Anyone who is an IT professional will know this.

    Stop wasting my time Alan.
    No one's forcing you to reply, stoner.

    You have no evidence.

    You CLAIM an argument from authority of "20+ years in the IT biz"...

    ...but even that is woefully short on specifics.

    Face it: you know FUCK ALL about how maintenance on the FAAs technology
    is done, and we DO KNOW that DOGE laid off FAA technical staff.

    And you just imagine that all of the support and maintenance of FAA
    technology is done by the vendors.

    Face it: you know FUCK ALL about how maintenance on the FAAs technology

    And you just imagine that all of the support and maintenance of FAA technology is done by the vendors.

    And even if it can be proven by pothead that one very specialized slice
    of IT has to be done by specific maintainer vendors...

    ...that fails to constitute proof that *all* activities can only be done

    Yup, there were several outages during his presiduncy.

    No, but in those years DOGE hadn't famously fired thousands of FAA
    workers.

    So what? You have established no connection between firings and even a
    single aviation incident.

    Aren't you at all concerned that Trump is now offering signing bonuses
    and higher wages to get some of these people back?

    No, because there is no corroborated evidence from any official source
    and is inconclusive to suggest that there are any offers to bring anyone

    Because for 2025, major ones which have been publicly reported already
    is three (3):

    April 28, 2025: outage with significant disruptions; some traumatized controllers took authorized medical leave;

    May 9, 2025: outage at ~3:55AM, duration of ~90 seconds.

    May 11, 2025: outage with a ground stop of ~45 minutes.


    Maybe the people maintaining the gear deserve to be fired since
    what they're doing apparently isn't working.

    Isn't a better explanation is that because there's fewer of them working
    now, the failure rate is now higher than it was in the past?

    they're doing apparently isn't working.

    Isn't a better explanation is that because there's fewer of them working
    now, the failure rate is now higher than it was in the past?


    -hh

    Since the frequency of outages appears to be happening at a singular
    airport, perhaps the better explanation is they don't know what the hell they're doing at EWR.

    The ones who maintain the gear that's now breaking down.

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    How many ATC outages did EWR have in total all of 2024?


    Because for 2025, major ones which have been publicly reported already
    is three (3):

    April 28, 2025: outage with significant disruptions; some traumatized controllers took authorized medical leave;

    May 9, 2025: outage at ~3:55AM, duration of ~90 seconds.

    I guess Musk's cuts at FAA weren't the solution after all.


    Was DOGE around when it happened last year? How about in 2023? Or 2018?
    Or 2015? Or 2013?

    You said everything that didn't go to your liking was Biden's fault
    from before he was elected right up until today.

    But it's YOUR guy on the hot seat now.  Everything bad that happens
    now is HIS fault.

    The shoe is on the other foot.  Wear it.


    Nah, I never did that. All I am suggesting is clearing up the perception
    that you lunatics have that these outages are somehow something new.


    They're one-line bottom-of-page news blurbs
    if a DEM is president ... loud constant crying
    and screaming if a Republican is president :-)

    The system has been old for a long time, nobody
    wants to commit to a re-build because of the
    expense and invisibility. Put up a huge building
    or dam or something they can pose in front of ...
    THAT gets votes and donations.

    Another issue here is the DELAYS involved in most
    govt contracts. If they SPEC OUT the new system
    tomorrow none of it will be BUILT for five, maybe
    even ten years. By then today's tech is old ...
    might be hard to get parts. "Tech" especially is
    a swiftly moving target - matched with a creaky
    slow purchase system.

    Hmmm ... a few years back, a huge airport in Paris
    ground to a halt. The system that guides planes
    around the taxi-ways broke. Turned out to be an
    old PC running WINDOWS.3.11 ... they never
    got any money to update the thing. So, I guess
    the problem isn't *just* in the USA :-)

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are widely

    minimally reported to the public due to their limited impact,
    operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. For example, a EWR
    controller reported at least two other outages since August 2024, which
    the FAA didn’t confirm publicly, suggesting minor incidents are handled internally. Go ahead and see if you can find any 'front page news' on that.

    By your logic, there are probably even more outages this year since
    some outages could only be known by, "visiting official FAA sites."

    Because for 2025, major ones which have been publicly reported already
    is three (3):

    April 28, 2025: outage with significant disruptions; some traumatized

    I do not need citations. The problem remains to redo it will be

    Except that some of those 'antique' FAA systems are retained as backups
    in case an electronic system goes down, so as to be able to nevertheless
    still accomplish the ATC mission even in the event of adversity:

    this is the same reason why the US Navy has gone back to training its

    1731 .. nearly 300 years ago):

    Yet again, how are budget cuts and mass firings supposed to remedy
    this situation.


    It doesn't, and the 'modernization plan' published this week doesn't
    contain a lick of requirements for system uptime, redundancy, or a bunch
    of other mission critical elements.

    When one reads the details which are there, it is pretty clear that the
    intent is to give a big juicy sole-source contract to Elon Musk...who
    just like hist self-driving will grift taxpayers for a decade of "the
    date has slipped - but I guarantee that it will work next year" BS.

    Tell your Congressman that the world's richest man can put up his own
    money upfront and the Fed will pay upon delivery where it meets 100% of
    the original technical requirements of the current system, plus 100% of
    the promised enhancements. If that bankrupts Elon, tough shit.

    Which also means that there may have been more 2025 failures at airports

    Overall, we know that the ATC situation is bad when United Airlines has

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are widely
    reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go unreported or
    minimally reported to the public due to their limited impact,
    operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. For example, a EWR
    controller reported at least two other outages since August 2024,
    which the FAA didn’t confirm publicly, suggesting minor incidents are
    handled internally. Go ahead and see if you can find any 'front page

    Gosh, that's a bit spinny:  try dig up those details and cross-compare

    Isn't a better explanation is that because there's fewer of them

    -hh

    Since the frequency of outages appears to be happening at a singular
    airport, perhaps the better explanation is they don't know what the
    hell
    they're doing at EWR.

    "Appears to be" at one airport?

    Yeah, appears. Outages aren't isolated to one airport. They have
    happened a number of times before. I guess you would know that *if*
    they were front page news, as you suggested.

    Which also means that there may have been more 2025 failures at airports other than EWR.

    Overall, we know that the ATC situation is bad when United Airlines has already *unilaterally* cut their flight schedule, without any requests

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    How many ATC outages did EWR have in total all of 2024?

    Between 2-4.

    You're guessing, am I right?

    Nope.

    Then where's the dates of said outages, preferably with cites?

    Plus note that 3 known outages to date in 2025 is a ~3x higher rate

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search.  We know that

    So now we're moving the goalposts.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your own goalpost move attempt, fine! Thus, your comparison attempt has found
    *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    visiting official FAA sites.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!  <laughs and points>

    Dude!  Such outages are ALWAYS front page news.  Who do you think >>>>>> you're fooling?

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are
    widely reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go
    unreported or minimally reported to the public due to their limited
    impact, operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. For
    example, a EWR controller reported at least two other outages since
    August 2024, which the FAA didn’t confirm publicly, suggesting
    minor incidents are handled internally. Go ahead and see if you can
    find any 'front page news' on that.

    Gosh, that's a bit spinny:  try dig up those details and cross-
    compare them to what's been reported on the three YTD 2025 outages
    to see if they were actually as significant as we've seen over the

    Then let's look at little more at 2025, shall we?

    To the three in Newark, let's add:

    February 2025, Oakland:

    May 16, 2025, Denver:

    <https://www.aeronewsjournal.com/2025/05/denver-air-traffic-control-outage.html>

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    Nope.

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are
    widely reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go
    unreported or minimally reported to the public due to their
    limited impact, operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. >>>>>>>> For example, a EWR controller reported at least two other outages >>>>>>>> since August 2024, which the FAA didn’t confirm publicly,

    One person's spin is another's outage. Fact is these outages have
    been happening for years. And many less impactful one's are often
    not reported.

    By your own deep count attempt, 5 nationwide in 2024, for 0.42/month, >>>>> versus a 2025 pace of 3 in <4.5 months = 0.67/mo = a +60% rate increase. >>>>
    Not deep count. Just a quick search. I'm not inclined to spend a lot
    of time doing research on something we know has been an issue for a
    number of years. Frankly, I'm not sure what we're even debating here.
    I think we agree that aviation systems are due for some serious
    upgrades, but no conclusive connection has been established between
    the latest events and the DOGE cuts.

    Its pretty damn obvious when the GOP voted down upgrades in 2019, Elon
    cancelled the Verizon upgrade contract in 2025 *and* fired hundreds of
    FAA ATC workers that the system was made worse, not better.

    Verizon upgrades are not canceled. They are on hold pending further
    investigation. Draw your own conclusion.

    If the system is worse, which it may be, then cite the evidence making
    the causal connection. Coincidence doesn't count.

    Well seeing as a direct link hotline between Pentagon and DCA hasn't worked since 2022 I would say Verizon is not doing their job.

    <https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5398581/hotline-dca-airport-pentagon-disconnected-army>




    I love how you just jump to the conclusion that Verizon's contract had
    anything to with that hotline.

    outage at the Oakland Oceanic ATC Center

    These don't include several unreported potential outages as they
    were routine or low-impact, reinforcing that only significant
    disruptions gain media attention.

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search. We know
    that there's 3 just from EWR in 2025 .. what about the rest of the
    country?

    So now we're moving the goalposts.


    Where that move was your's, buy citing 2024 failures beyond EWR.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your
    own goalpost move attempt, fine! Thus, your comparison attempt has
    found *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    Nope, I was asked to provide other instances of outages in 2024. There
    was no requirement to limit it to Newark (although it was the subject of one of them).

    My whole point is that you all are acting like these outages are
    something new. They aren't


    Then let's look at little more at 2025, shall we?

    To the three in Newark, let's add:

    February 2025, Oakland:

    May 16, 2025, Denver:

    <https://www.aeronewsjournal.com/2025/05/denver-air-traffic-control-outage.html>

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now.

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    Between 2-4.

    Nope.

    Reporting isn't always comprehensive. Would require
    visiting official FAA sites.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! <laughs and points>

    Dude! Such outages are ALWAYS front page news. Who do you think >>>>>>>>> you're fooling?

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are
    widely reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go
    unreported or minimally reported to the public due to their
    limited impact, operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. >>>>>>>> For example, a EWR controller reported at least two other outages >>>>>>>> since August 2024, which the FAA didn’t confirm publicly,

    Gosh, that's a bit spinny: try dig up those details and cross-
    compare them to what's been reported on the three YTD 2025 outages >>>>>>> to see if they were actually as significant as we've seen over the >>>>>>> past 3 weeks.

    One person's spin is another's outage. Fact is these outages have
    been happening for years. And many less impactful one's are often
    not reported.

    By your own deep count attempt, 5 nationwide in 2024, for 0.42/month, >>>>> versus a 2025 pace of 3 in <4.5 months = 0.67/mo = a +60% rate increase. >>>>
    Not deep count. Just a quick search. I'm not inclined to spend a lot
    of time doing research on something we know has been an issue for a
    number of years. Frankly, I'm not sure what we're even debating here.
    I think we agree that aviation systems are due for some serious
    upgrades, but no conclusive connection has been established between
    the latest events and the DOGE cuts.

    Its pretty damn obvious when the GOP voted down upgrades in 2019, Elon
    cancelled the Verizon upgrade contract in 2025 *and* fired hundreds of
    FAA ATC workers that the system was made worse, not better.

    Verizon upgrades are not canceled. They are on hold pending further
    investigation. Draw your own conclusion.

    If the system is worse, which it may be, then cite the evidence making
    the causal connection. Coincidence doesn't count.

    Well seeing as a direct link hotline between Pentagon and DCA hasn't worked since 2022 I would say Verizon is not doing their job.

    The world does not stop just because a president is elected. The
    new guy is immediately responsible for everything that goes
    wrong. That means Don Jello is the only president to fix this
    meshugana. So when? Has he announced anything yet?

    22, 2024: outage at the Oakland Oceanic ATC Center.Oakland Air Route >>>>> Traffic Control Center (ARTCC) Outage, February 22, 2024: outage at
    the Oakland Oceanic ATC Center

    Miami and Jacksonville ARTCC Outages: unscheduled cooperative radar
    outage. https://www.faa.gov/newsroom/radar-modernization-proposal

    These don't include several unreported potential outages as they
    were routine or low-impact, reinforcing that only significant
    disruptions gain media attention.

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search. We know
    that there's 3 just from EWR in 2025 .. what about the rest of the
    country?

    So now we're moving the goalposts.


    Where that move was your's, buy citing 2024 failures beyond EWR.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your own
    goalpost move attempt, fine! Thus, your comparison attempt has found
    *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    Nope, I was asked to provide other instances of outages in 2024. There
    was no requirement to limit it to Newark (although it was the subject of
    one of them).

    My whole point is that you all are acting like these outages are
    something new. They aren't


    They only care now because Trump is President. Everything is blamed
    on him, even if the technology is over 50 years and was ignored by
    previous Presidents.


    Reporting isn't always comprehensive. Would require
    visiting official FAA sites.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA! <laughs and points>

    Dude! Such outages are ALWAYS front page news. Who do you think >>>>>>>> you're fooling?

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are
    widely reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go
    unreported or minimally reported to the public due to their
    limited impact, operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. >>>>>>> For example, a EWR controller reported at least two other outages >>>>>>> since August 2024, which the FAA didnt confirm publicly,
    suggesting minor incidents are handled internally. Go ahead and
    see if you can find any 'front page news' on that.

    Gosh, that's a bit spinny: try dig up those details and cross-
    compare them to what's been reported on the three YTD 2025 outages >>>>>> to see if they were actually as significant as we've seen over the >>>>>> past 3 weeks.

    One person's spin is another's outage. Fact is these outages have
    been happening for years. And many less impactful one's are often
    not reported.

    By your own deep count attempt, 5 nationwide in 2024, for 0.42/month,
    versus a 2025 pace of 3 in <4.5 months = 0.67/mo = a +60% rate increase. >>>
    Not deep count. Just a quick search. I'm not inclined to spend a lot
    of time doing research on something we know has been an issue for a
    number of years. Frankly, I'm not sure what we're even debating here.
    I think we agree that aviation systems are due for some serious
    upgrades, but no conclusive connection has been established between
    the latest events and the DOGE cuts.

    Its pretty damn obvious when the GOP voted down upgrades in 2019, Elon
    cancelled the Verizon upgrade contract in 2025 *and* fired hundreds of
    FAA ATC workers that the system was made worse, not better.

    Verizon upgrades are not canceled. They are on hold pending further >investigation. Draw your own conclusion.

    If the system is worse, which it may be, then cite the evidence making
    the causal connection. Coincidence doesn't count.


    Good luck with that from HH.

    To the three in Newark, let's add:

    February 2025, Oakland:

    May 16, 2025, Denver:

    <https://www.aeronewsjournal.com/2025/05/denver-air-traffic-control-outage.html>

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them
    after the libs got butthurt.

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's happened.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's happened.

    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.

    You could yourself if you weren't in denial.

    Then let's look at little more at 2025, shall we?

    To the three in Newark, let's add:

    February 2025, Oakland:

    <https://www.aerotime.aero/articles/oakland-air-traffic-control-disruption>

    May 16, 2025, Denver:

    <https://www.aeronewsjournal.com/2025/05/denver-air-traffic-control-outage.html>

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them
    after the libs got butthurt.

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's happened.

    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.

    You could yourself if you weren't in denial.

    You're making the claim...

    ...but you won't back it up.

    What more is there to say?

    This is at least the 3rd time in barely a week.

    One ATC was heard telling the planes that if
    they were sick of this shit they should get
    their corps to pressure the govt.

    MAGA is blaming blacks for it.

    NO ... do NOT think she should be fired in

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    How many ATC outages did EWR have in total all of 2024?

    Between 2-4.

    Nope.

    These don't include several unreported potential outages as they
    were routine or low-impact, reinforcing that only significant
    disruptions gain media attention.

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search.  We know
    that there's 3 just from EWR in 2025 .. what about the rest of the
    country?

    So now we're moving the goalposts.


    Where that move was your's, buy citing 2024 failures beyond EWR.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your own
    goalpost move attempt, fine!  Thus, your comparison attempt has found
    *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    Nope, I was asked to provide other instances of outages in 2024. There
    was no requirement to limit it to Newark (although it was the subject of
    one of them).

    My whole point is that you all are acting like these outages are
    something new. They aren't


    Reporting isn't always comprehensive. Would require
    visiting official FAA sites.

    BWAAAAAAAAAAHAHAHAHAHA!  <laughs and points>

    Dude!  Such outages are ALWAYS front page news.  Who do you think >>>>>>>> you're fooling?

    Define 'such outages.' Not all outages are the same. Some are
    widely reported, some aren't. Minor or brief outages may go
    unreported or minimally reported to the public due to their
    limited impact, operational protocols, or ongoing investigations. >>>>>>> For example, a EWR controller reported at least two other outages >>>>>>> since August 2024, which the FAA didn’t confirm publicly,
    suggesting minor incidents are handled internally. Go ahead and
    see if you can find any 'front page news' on that.

    Gosh, that's a bit spinny:  try dig up those details and cross-
    compare them to what's been reported on the three YTD 2025 outages >>>>>> to see if they were actually as significant as we've seen over the >>>>>> past 3 weeks.

    One person's spin is another's outage. Fact is these outages have
    been happening for years. And many less impactful one's are often
    not reported.

    By your own deep count attempt, 5 nationwide in 2024, for 0.42/month,
    versus a 2025 pace of 3 in <4.5 months = 0.67/mo = a +60% rate increase. >>>
    Not deep count. Just a quick search. I'm not inclined to spend a lot
    of time doing research on something we know has been an issue for a
    number of years. Frankly, I'm not sure what we're even debating here.
    I think we agree that aviation systems are due for some serious
    upgrades, but no conclusive connection has been established between
    the latest events and the DOGE cuts.

    Its pretty damn obvious when the GOP voted down upgrades in 2019, Elon
    cancelled the Verizon upgrade contract in 2025 *and* fired hundreds of
    FAA ATC workers that the system was made worse, not better.

    Verizon upgrades are not canceled. They are on hold pending further investigation. Draw your own conclusion.

    “Potato, potahto”.


    If the system is worse, which it may be, then cite the evidence making
    the causal connection. Coincidence doesn't count.

    You’ve never been through a FAR regulated project in your life to know what your “maybes” whataboutisms are doing.

    -hh



    By your logic, there are probably even more outages this year since >>>>>>>> some outages could only be known by, "visiting official FAA sites." >>>>>>>>>> Because for 2025, major ones which have been publicly reported >>>>>>>>>> already
    is three (3):

    April 28, 2025: outage with significant disruptions; some
    traumatized
    controllers took authorized medical leave;

    May 9, 2025: outage at ~3:55AM, duration of ~90 seconds.

    May 11, 2025:  outage with a ground stop of ~45 minutes.


    Maybe the people maintaining the gear deserve to be fired >>>>>>>>>>> since what
    they're doing apparently isn't working.

    Isn't a better explanation is that because there's fewer of >>>>>>>>>> them working
    now, the failure rate is now higher than it was in the past? >>>>>>>>>>

    -hh

    Since the frequency of outages appears to be happening at a
    singular
    airport, perhaps the better explanation is they don't know what >>>>>>>>> the hell
    they're doing at EWR.

    "Appears to be" at one airport?

    Yeah, appears. Outages aren't isolated to one airport. They have >>>>>>> happened a number of times before. I guess you would know that
    *if* they were front page news, as you suggested.

    Which also means that there may have been more 2025 failures at
    airports other than EWR.

    Overall, we know that the ATC situation is bad when United Airlines >>>>>> has already *unilaterally* cut their flight schedule, without any
    requests from the FAA to cut back.

    Right. And???

    So why is a capitalistic corporation choosing to curtail profit-making? >>>
    Because aviation accidents aren't good for business.

    Which should tell you something.

    It was obvious from his libs butthurt bit .. even though a third of

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role, huh?

    Maybe, maybe not. But you would have to explain how firing hundreds of
    FAA workers now played a role in prior years outages when there was no DOGE.

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them
    after the libs got butthurt.

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's happened. >>>>>
    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.


    He was never going to, because he?s afraid of what it may reveal.

    It was obvious from his libs butthurt bit .. even though a third of US air >> traffic goes thru the NYC metro airspace daily?

    -hh

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to
    blame Trump and Musk.

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role, huh?

    No, there are many qualified.

    You've yet to show that those outages happened with the same frequency.

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them
    after the libs got butthurt.

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's
    happened.

    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.


    He was never going to, because he?s afraid of what it may reveal.

    It was obvious from his libs butthurt bit .. even though a third of
    US air
    traffic goes thru the NYC metro airspace daily?

    -hh

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to
    blame Trump and Musk.

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role, huh?

    Maybe, maybe not. But you would have to explain how firing hundreds of
    FAA workers now played a role in prior years outages when there was no
    DOGE.

    You've yet to show that those outages happened with the same frequency.

    You've yet to show firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role.

    I asked a question.

    You failed to answer.

    Answer it and we can move forward.

    We KNOW FAA workers were fired; hundreds of them.

    We KNOW that some of them worked maintaining ATC facilities; "FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance"

    Those are facts.

    You CLAIM that there have been outages before and IMPLY that nothing has changed.

    So SHOW it.

    It happenes all the time. They want to make it public now. >>>>>>>>>>
    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them
    after the libs got butthurt.

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's
    happened.

    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.


    He was never going to, because he?s afraid of what it may reveal.

    It was obvious from his libs butthurt bit .. even though a third of
    US air
    traffic goes thru the NYC metro airspace daily?

    -hh

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to
    blame Trump and Musk.

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role,
    huh?

    Maybe, maybe not. But you would have to explain how firing hundreds of
    FAA workers now played a role in prior years outages when there was no
    DOGE.


    You would have to explain why the ATC worked
    fine until Trump and his mass firings took place.

    No, I wouldn't. Because it hasn't. I have already cited instances of
    similar events taking place prior to any cuts. Outages have been going
    on for years.

    You've yet to show that those outages happened with the same

    I asked a question.

    I asked you first for an explanation.

    You failed to answer.

    You failed to answer.

    Answer it and we can move forward.

    You first.

    We KNOW FAA workers were fired; hundreds of them.

    We KNOW that some of them worked maintaining ATC facilities; "FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance"

    You have established no causal connection...none, zero, zip, zilch, nada.

    Those are facts.

    You CLAIM that there have been outages before and IMPLY that nothing has changed.

    The only one implying anything is you.

    So SHOW it.

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any
    role, huh?

    My question.


    Maybe, maybe not. But you would have to explain how firing hundreds
    of FAA workers now played a role in prior years outages when there
    was no DOGE.

    Your non-answer and your (incorrectly punctuated) question.


    You've yet to show that those outages happened with the same frequency. >>>
    You've yet to show firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role.

    I asked a question.

    I asked you first for an explanation.

    As noted above, false.


    You failed to answer.

    You failed to answer.

    Answer it and we can move forward.

    You first.

    So we agree on the rule that he who asks the question first gets
    answered first!


    We KNOW FAA workers were fired; hundreds of them.

    We KNOW that some of them worked maintaining ATC facilities; "FAA
    radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance"

    You have established no causal connection...none, zero, zip, zilch, nada.

    Is it a fact: yes or no?


    Those are facts.

    You CLAIM that there have been outages before and IMPLY that nothing
    has changed.

    The only one implying anything is you.

    False.

    Saying "it's happened before" necessarily implies things aren't
    different now.

         You would have to explain why the ATC worked

    No, I wouldn't. Because it hasn't. I have already cited instances of

    on for years.

    And your implication is that things haven't changed.

    So show it.

    There is no implication, except by you.

         You would have to explain why the ATC worked

    No, I wouldn't. Because it hasn't. I have already cited instances of

    going on for years.

    And your implication is that things haven't changed.

    So show it.

    There is no implication, except by you.

    So you're NOT saying that it was no different before?

    You live everywhere there are FAA technicians?

    Wow!

    The infrastructure is from the stone age.
    Wires burning up was the cause of the Newark mess.

    And since you libbys squawk about Verizon being bid against by Musk,
    consider that a critical bat phone line between the FAA and the Pentagon
    was not working for 2 years.

    Where was Pothole Pete?

    Implementing DEI policies that's where.

    The infrastructure is from the stone age.
    Wires burning up was the cause of the Newark mess.

    And again:

    Do you think firing maintenance staff made that situation better or worse.


    And since you libbys squawk about Verizon being bid against by Musk,
    consider that a critical bat phone line between the FAA and the Pentagon
    was not working for 2 years.

    What makes you think that line was part of Verizon's contract?


    Where was Pothole Pete?

    Implementing DEI policies that's where.

    You're kidding.

    Try to keep up:

    'The terminated FAA employees included workers who assist FAA
    technicians administratively and logistically, according to David Spero, national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, a
    union that represents about 11,000 FAA and Defense Department employees
    who support air traffic controllers.

    He said environmental compliance workers, aeronautical information
    specialists and maintenance mechanics responsible for the upkeep of
    grounds, roads and facilities were among those fired.'

    <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/17/faa-workers-fired-trump-plane-helicopter-collision/78956241007/>

    'The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, one air traffic controller told The
    Associated Press. The air traffic controller was not authorized to talk
    to the media and spoke on condition of anonymity.'

    <https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437>


    And since you libbys squawk about Verizon being bid against by Musk,
    consider that a critical bat phone line between the FAA and the Pentagon >>> was not working for 2 years.
    What makes you think that line was part of Verizon's contract?
    I didn't say that.
    Learn to read.
    Since the Verizon connection was a PHONE LINE VOICE, that was down for 2 years
    it obviously had nothing to do with wires burning up.
    You fail.

    <https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-public-sector-wins-federal-aviation-administration-fens-contract>

    Nothing about phone lines there...

    Implementing DEI policies that's where.
    Well?

    You have presented no evidence of DEI policies having anything to do
    with it.

    traffic goes thru the NYC metro airspace daily?

    -hh

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to
    blame Trump and Musk.

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role, huh?

    No, there are many qualified.

    You know that, do you?

    How?

    I live here.

    You live everywhere there are FAA technicians?

    Wow!

    The infrastructure is from the stone age.
    Wires burning up was the cause of the Newark mess.

    And again:

    Do you think firing maintenance staff made that situation better or worse.

    And again, your proof that critical maintenance staff was fired is?


    And since you libbys squawk about Verizon being bid against by Musk,
    consider that a critical bat phone line between the FAA and the Pentagon
    was not working for 2 years.

    What makes you think that line was part of Verizon's contract?

    I didn't say that.
    Learn to read.
    Since the Verizon connection was a PHONE LINE VOICE, that was down for 2 years it obviously had nothing to do with wires burning up.
    You fail.



    Where was Pothole Pete?

    Implementing DEI policies that's where.

    Well?

    You're kidding.

    Try to keep up:

    'The terminated FAA employees included workers who assist FAA
    technicians administratively and logistically, according to David Spero, national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, a
    union that represents about 11,000 FAA and Defense Department employees
    who support air traffic controllers.


    Key word ASSIST.
    Also known as gophers.

    Enviornmental compliance workers?
    ROTFLMAO!

    so green new scam BS employees.

    Upkeep of grounds?

    Really?

    So pretty bushes help the planes to land..

    Hahahahahha!



    'The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and navigational aid maintenance, one air traffic controller told The

    Was his ATC station broken?

    The reason he was not allowed to talk to the media was because the FAA did not want
    the facts that the ATC system is antique leaked.
    Sorry but maintenance is NOT the problem.

    Let's talk about what you just snipped:

    Let's just boil down the rest. The FAA employees who were fired were:

    59 employees from FAA Technical Operations

    19 employees from FAA Mission Support Services (all aeronautical
    information specialists we believe)

    15 employees from FAA Air Traffic Services

    39 employees from FAA Flight Standards Service

    management and program analyst

    management and program assistant

    aviation safety assistant

    legal instruments examiner
    flight operations program specialist
    aeronautical information specialist
    environmental protection specialist
    maintenance mechanic

    telecommunications specialist

    <https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/employees-cut-include-systems-specialists-safety-inspectors-maintenance-mechanics-and-administrative-staff/>

    A lot of those seem pretty important.

    Look ... the WokieComs have chosen the tact to BURY
    the past. NEVER HAPPENED ... the world didn't exist
    before Jan 20 - nothing but Hobbits and Dragons and
    such before. They will STICK to that illusion and
    get their MSM friends to help.

    The existing ATC systems were LONG broken but NOBODY
    did a damned thing about it (not even Trump 45). Too
    complex, too expensive, no political glory.

    Alas NOW, time's UP.

    Either it's all fixed well and SOON or there's no more
    significant air travel/commerce in US airspace.

    Get Musk in on this a bit - he will KNOW the right
    people, the right corps, the right tech - and how
    to do it QUICK.

    The WORST prob ... govt specs/contracts usually
    run FAR behind the current reality/tech. It's why
    the moon-landers used tech ten years out of date.

    Once had a tour of a US attack sub in the late 80s.
    The whole sonar set-up was STILL 60s tech, those
    disk drives where you could remove the entire disk
    pak (DO make sure they've stopped spinning first !)
    Reason - govt spec/contracts. The spec was writ
    a good DECADE before the actual product. Attack
    subs are the Cutting Edge - and STILL it's THAT bad.

    Those are facts.

    You CLAIM that there have been outages before and IMPLY that nothing

    The only one implying anything is you.

    False.

    Saying "it's happened before" necessarily implies things aren't
    different now.

    Only to you.


    Oh really?
    Then why did you choose to make that claim to begin with?

    Because if it wasn't to suggest no change in historical reliability
    rates, then what else could that statement been saying?

    You're guessing, am I right?

    Nope.

    Then where's the dates of said outages, preferably with cites?

    Plus note that 3 known outages to date in 2025 is a ~3x higher
    rate of critical failures than this alleged "2-4" over 12 months
    of 2024.

    These don't include several unreported potential outages as they
    were routine or low-impact, reinforcing that only significant
    disruptions gain media attention.

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search.  We know
    that there's 3 just from EWR in 2025 .. what about the rest of the
    country?

    So now we're moving the goalposts.


    Where that move was your's, buy citing 2024 failures beyond EWR.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your
    own goalpost move attempt, fine!  Thus, your comparison attempt has
    found *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    Nope, I was asked to provide other instances of outages in 2024. There
    was no requirement to limit it to Newark (although it was the subject of
    one of them).

    My whole point is that you all are acting like these outages are >>>>>>>>>>>>>> something new. They aren't


    Then let's look at little more at 2025, shall we?

    To the three in Newark, let's add:

    February 2025, Oakland:

    May 16, 2025, Denver:

    Does it happen all the time? Really?

    Yup, Did you notice you only started hearing about them

    Then you'll have no problem pointing out all the times it's happened. >>>>>>>>>
    :-)

    Read the news moron.

    So you can't point out any incidents.

    Got it.


    He was never going to, because he?s afraid of what it may reveal.

    It was obvious from his libs butthurt bit .. even though a third of US air
    traffic goes thru the NYC metro airspace daily?

    -hh

    I am still right. It's only news now because you want to
    blame Trump and Musk.

    And you don't think firing hundreds of FAA workers played any role, huh? >>>
    No, there are many qualified.

    You know that, do you?

    How?

    I live here.

    You live in Newark, NJ?

    Duplication of services.
    Incompetence.

    Up until DOGE, it was darn near impossible to get fired from a federal job.

    And how many were fired in comparison to how many remained in those roles?

    And since you libbys squawk about Verizon being bid against by Musk, >>>>>>>> consider that a critical bat phone line between the FAA and the Pentagon
    was not working for 2 years.
    What makes you think that line was part of Verizon's contract?
    I didn't say that.
    Learn to read.
    Since the Verizon connection was a PHONE LINE VOICE, that was down for 2 years
    it obviously had nothing to do with wires burning up.
    You fail.

    <https://www.verizon.com/about/news/verizon-public-sector-wins-federal-aviation-administration-fens-contract>

    Nothing about phone lines there...

    I don't think I posted that but however here is a link:

    <https://www.npr.org/2025/05/14/nx-s1-5398581/hotline-dca-airport-pentagon-disconnected-army>

    No evidence that it was part of any Verizon contract.

    Did you read the article I provided?

    I never said it was.
    That was YOUR assumption.
    And either way it does not matter.

    Really?

    You didn't say this:

    'Since the Verizon connection was a PHONE LINE VOICE, that was down for
    2 years it obviously had nothing to do with wires burning up.'

    I never said it did.
    Two different events, both showing a deterioration of equipment due to age.

    Stop putting words in my mouth.




    Point is, a critical line of communication was broken for TWO YEARS!
    Where was Pothole Pete?
    Let's talk about what you just snipped:

    Let's just boil down the rest. The FAA employees who were fired were:

    59 employees from FAA Technical Operations

    19 employees from FAA Mission Support Services (all aeronautical
    information specialists we believe)

    15 employees from FAA Air Traffic Services

    39 employees from FAA Flight Standards Service

    management and program analyst

    management and program assistant

    aviation safety assistant

    legal instruments examiner
    flight operations program specialist
    aeronautical information specialist
    environmental protection specialist
    maintenance mechanic

    telecommunications specialist

    <https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/employees-cut-include-systems-specialists-safety-inspectors-maintenance-mechanics-and-administrative-staff/>

    A lot of those seem pretty important.

    Maybe.
    Maybe redundant.
    Maybe obsolete positions. The government is well known for duplication
    of positions.
    It could be anything but it has nothing to do with an antiquated system
    that is so old the people who were experts at maintaining it are retired
    or dead.

    If you were graduating as an engineer would YOU want to take a job working
    with equipment, some of which might have been built before you were born?

    The failures are due in part to an ancient system.

    Do you think firing maintenance staff made that situation better or worse.
    And again, your proof that critical maintenance staff was fired is?

    You're kidding.

    Try to keep up:

    'The terminated FAA employees included workers who assist FAA
    technicians administratively and logistically, according to David Spero, >>>> national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, a

    Key word ASSIST.
    Also known as gophers.

    As well as the people who make sure to always have spare parts in
    inventory for when the techs call in at 3am...

    Should be automated by now.

    How long have you had automated grocery delivery items to keep your refrigerator stocked? We "should" have had that by now too.

    Likewise, the FAA is reliant on Congress to authorize funding to make
    such system upgrades. We know that the GOP has killed that repeatedly,
    such as in 2019, so so much as we would like to say "should" we know
    that it isn't, so firing the staff who was doing this workflow before it
    gets replaced is deliberate & malicious sabotage of public services.


    Taking a physical inventory is only needed on occasion to true
    up the inventory.

    There's that too, but this is simply having the people in the department
    who track consumption to whatever degree and order the needed spares. Otherwise, the shelves run dry no matter how much (if at all) you
    conduct physical inventories of them.

    Amazon can tell me where my package currently is, where it's coming from,
    and at what time it will be delivered.

    Which is sometimes actually correct.


    He said environmental compliance workers, aeronautical information
    specialists and maintenance mechanics responsible for the upkeep of
    grounds, roads and facilities were among those fired.'

    <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/17/faa-workers-fired-trump-plane-helicopter-collision/78956241007/>

    Enviornmental compliance workers?
    ROTFLMAO!

    so green new scam BS employees.

    Nope: you've clearly never had to handle or dispose (legally) of old
    industrial capacitors, whose fluids contained PCP's.

    Actually I have.

    LOL, then why did you try to disregard compliance? You dumped them
    illegally, no doubt.

    And you can add CRT (not THAT CRT) disposal processes to my resume'.

    Same: dumped illegally.

    Was his ATC station broken?

    The reason he was not allowed to talk to the media was because the FAA did not want
    the facts that the ATC system is antique leaked.
    Sorry but maintenance is NOT the problem.

    It is a problem when you fire those who provision the replacement parts.

    From what I am reading, some critical spare parts need to be obtained from eBay
    because they are obsolete and no longer manufactured.


    Sounds like a minimum wage/skill level job to me.

    The pay level doesn't matter, because without someone doing the work, it doesn't get done, and breakdowns can't be fixed.


    ROTFLMAO!


    Infrastructure IS the problem.

    And per the above: "...workers...responsible for the upkeep of...
    facilities were among those fired.'"
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    Duplication of services.

    Redundancy may be justified to achieve the system uptime reliability needed.

    Incompetence.
    Poor reviews.
    etc.

    More vague hand-waiving of innuendo lacking substance.

    Up until DOGE, it was darn near impossible to get fired from a federal job.

    Bullshit. I've seen Feds in the office get fired for nonperformance
    long before DOGE existed.

    And how many were fired in comparison to how many remained in those roles?

    Great question, since you're who's trying to justify every individual
    fired as having been incompetent: so what's the answer?

    I have a problem with ATC trainees being given the answers to critical exams because
    they are not intelligent enough to learn the material.

    No, that's your assumption of what's happening: how many actual USAJOBS applications have you yourself personally processed?

    And just because they are DEI hires. <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-3386099/DEI-activist-heard-offering-answers-air-traffic-control-entry-exam.html>

    Nope. Because if you actually knew how the sausage is made, you'd know
    where it is broken and if you had anyone trying to apply, you'd offer
    them any & all tips you knew to get them past the bullshit gates.

    For example, back in 2019 I suggested a friend apply for a position and
    they declined my offer of application coaching ... and they failed at
    the first gate. When we discussed it, I gave them a proverbial slap
    upside the head because on a language requirement they gave themselves
    only a 3 on a 1-5 scale instead of 5, because the requirement was a "do
    you have proficiency?", and they downgraded their score because they
    knew that their proficiency was high, but that a local could determine
    that they weren't a fellow local (ie, they'd have an accent).

    This is an example of where honest high proficiency candidates do get themselves excluded because they hold themselves to a higher standard.

    Which ATC personnel were fired? It certainly wasn't
    controllers.

    The ones who maintain the gear that's now breaking down.

    Such breakdowns happened in the past as well, even as
    recently as late
    2024.

    Yes, failures happen ... but at this same failure rate?

    How many ATC outages did EWR have in total all of 2024?

    Between 2-4.

    You're guessing, am I right?

    Nope.

    Then where's the dates of said outages, preferably with cites?

    Plus note that 3 known outages to date in 2025 is a ~3x higher
    rate of critical failures than this alleged "2-4" over 12 months
    of 2024.

    These don't include several unreported potential outages as they
    were routine or low-impact, reinforcing that only significant
    disruptions gain media attention.

    That's five ... but it is also from a nationwide search. We know
    that there's 3 just from EWR in 2025 .. what about the rest of the
    country?

    So now we're moving the goalposts.


    Where that move was your's, buy citing 2024 failures beyond EWR.

    I'm fine with casting a broader net but since you're protesting your
    own goalpost move attempt, fine! Thus, your comparison attempt has
    found *zero* EWR failures in 2024, compared to 3 (so far) in 2025.

    Nope, I was asked to provide other instances of outages in 2024. There
    was no requirement to limit it to Newark (although it was the subject of
    one of them).

    My whole point is that you all are acting like these outages are
    something new. They aren't


    Then let's look at little more at 2025, shall we? >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

    Key word ASSIST.
    Also known as gophers.

    As well as the people who make sure to always have spare parts in
    inventory for when the techs call in at 3am...

    Should be automated by now.

    How long have you had automated grocery delivery items to keep your refrigerator stocked? We "should" have had that by now too.

    My refrigerator isn't responsible for 400 lives on an aircraft.
    But since you brought it up, those refrigerators are for sale now.
    See Samsung smart appliances.



    Likewise, the FAA is reliant on Congress to authorize funding to make
    such system upgrades. We know that the GOP has killed that repeatedly,
    such as in 2019, so so much as we would like to say "should" we know
    that it isn't, so firing the staff who was doing this workflow before it
    gets replaced is deliberate & malicious sabotage of public services.

    I disagree.
    Trimming waste has been needed for a long time.
    And if Trump's FAA modernization plan goes through it will
    create plenty of high tech jobs servicing, installing, designing and
    so forth MODERN equipment, not something built in the early 1970's.


    Taking a physical inventory is only needed on occasion to true
    up the inventory.

    There's that too, but this is simply having the people in the department
    who track consumption to whatever degree and order the needed spares. Otherwise, the shelves run dry no matter how much (if at all) you
    conduct physical inventories of them.

    So?
    Were ALL of these jobs eliminated?


    Amazon can tell me where my package currently is, where it's coming from,
    and at what time it will be delivered.

    Which is sometimes actually correct.

    You're grasping at straws again.



    He said environmental compliance workers, aeronautical information
    specialists and maintenance mechanics responsible for the upkeep of
    grounds, roads and facilities were among those fired.'

    <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/17/faa-workers-fired-trump-plane-helicopter-collision/78956241007/>

    Enviornmental compliance workers?
    ROTFLMAO!

    so green new scam BS employees.

    Nope: you've clearly never had to handle or dispose (legally) of old
    industrial capacitors, whose fluids contained PCP's.

    Actually I have.

    LOL, then why did you try to disregard compliance? You dumped them illegally, no doubt.

    Actually I wasn't responsible for disposal, I just needed to know and understand the regulations.

    You make too many false assumptions.


    And you can add CRT (not THAT CRT) disposal processes to my resume'.

    Same: dumped illegally.


    Nope.

    'The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and >>>>> navigational aid maintenance, one air traffic controller told The

    <https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437>


    Was his ATC station broken?

    The reason he was not allowed to talk to the media was because the FAA did not want
    the facts that the ATC system is antique leaked.
    Sorry but maintenance is NOT the problem.

    It is a problem when you fire those who provision the replacement parts.

    From what I am reading, some critical spare parts need to be obtained from eBay
    because they are obsolete and no longer manufactured.


    Sounds like a minimum wage/skill level job to me.

    The pay level doesn't matter, because without someone doing the work, it doesn't get done, and breakdowns can't be fixed.


    ROTFLMAO!


    Infrastructure IS the problem.

    And per the above: "...workers...responsible for the upkeep of...
    facilities were among those fired.'"
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    Duplication of services.

    Redundancy may be justified to achieve the system uptime reliability needed.

    Incompetence.
    Poor reviews.
    etc.

    More vague hand-waiving of innuendo lacking substance.

    Up until DOGE, it was darn near impossible to get fired from a federal job.

    Bullshit. I've seen Feds in the office get fired for nonperformance
    long before DOGE existed.

    And how many were fired in comparison to how many remained in those roles?

    Great question, since you're who's trying to justify every individual
    fired as having been incompetent: so what's the answer?

    I have a problem with ATC trainees being given the answers to critical exams because
    they are not intelligent enough to learn the material.

    No, that's your assumption of what's happening: how many actual USAJOBS applications have you yourself personally processed?

    And just because they are DEI hires.
    <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-3386099/DEI-activist-heard-offering-answers-air-traffic-control-entry-exam.html>

    Nope. Because if you actually knew how the sausage is made, you'd know
    where it is broken and if you had anyone trying to apply, you'd offer
    them any & all tips you knew to get them past the bullshit gates.

    For example, back in 2019 I suggested a friend apply for a position and
    they declined my offer of application coaching ... and they failed at
    the first gate. When we discussed it, I gave them a proverbial slap
    upside the head because on a language requirement they gave themselves
    only a 3 on a 1-5 scale instead of 5, because the requirement was a "do
    you have proficiency?", and they downgraded their score because they
    knew that their proficiency was high, but that a local could determine
    that they weren't a fellow local (ie, they'd have an accent).

    This is an example of where honest high proficiency candidates do get themselves excluded because they hold themselves to a higher standard.

    How can that be read that you aren't saying that Verizon was in charge

    Point is, a critical line of communication was broken for TWO YEARS!
    Where was Pothole Pete?
    Let's talk about what you just snipped:

    Let's just boil down the rest. The FAA employees who were fired were:

    59 employees from FAA Technical Operations

    19 employees from FAA Mission Support Services (all aeronautical
    information specialists we believe)

    15 employees from FAA Air Traffic Services

    39 employees from FAA Flight Standards Service

    management and program analyst

    management and program assistant

    aviation safety assistant

    legal instruments examiner
    flight operations program specialist
    aeronautical information specialist
    environmental protection specialist
    maintenance mechanic

    telecommunications specialist

    <https://www.avweb.com/aviation-news/employees-cut-include-systems-specialists-safety-inspectors-maintenance-mechanics-and-administrative-staff/>

    A lot of those seem pretty important.

    Maybe.
    Maybe redundant.
    Maybe obsolete positions. The government is well known for duplication
    of positions.
    It could be anything but it has nothing to do with an antiquated system
    that is so old the people who were experts at maintaining it are retired
    or dead.

    If you were graduating as an engineer would YOU want to take a job working with equipment, some of which might have been built before you were born?

    The failures are due in part to an ancient system.
    And I've never said that they weren't.

    But if you have older systems, you don't get rid of the people who help maintain them until the system is replaced.

    But *how* do you know that both were old & deteriorated?

    Kindly post & document their respective dates of installation.
    Likewise, document how you know it was copper POTS.
    As well as documenting what the average service life is for it, to know
    if it actually has reached its end-of-life yet.


    Stop putting words in my mouth.

    Nope: no one forced you to volunteer your unsubstantiated claims that
    the lines both showed age-based deterioration, etc, etc.

    Of course, maybe not.

    Maybe redundant.

    And maybe not redundant.

    Maybe obsolete positions. The government is well known for duplication

    Maybe not obsolete functions.

    It could be anything but it has nothing to do with an antiquated system
    that is so old the people who were experts at maintaining it are retired
    or dead.

    Irrelevant & countered by the fact there's many "ancient" technologies
    in use. For example, there's people under age 40 who are being paid to supporting "ancient" COBOL still today in private industry IT systems.


    If you were graduating as an engineer would YOU want to take a job working with equipment, some of which might have been built before you were born?

    Except that 'Old" doesn't automatically "mean obsolete". If that really
    was the case, you better go personally take a dirtnap.

    And the last Boeing B-52 Stratofortress was delivered in October 1962,
    which means that every Air Force B52 pilot under age 62 is literally
    flying an aircraft that was built before they were born.


    The failures are due in part to an ancient system.

    Quite possibly so, but that's only been claimed, not proven. Plus even
    if that's fully true, it is 100% Congress's legal responsibility to fund
    the replacement/upgrades: stop trying to blame the employees.

    Do you think firing maintenance staff made that situation better or worse.
    And again, your proof that critical maintenance staff was fired is? >>>>>>
    You're kidding.

    Try to keep up:

    'The terminated FAA employees included workers who assist FAA
    technicians administratively and logistically, according to David Spero, >>>>>> national president of the Professional Aviation Safety Specialists, a >>>>>> union that represents about 11,000 FAA and Defense Department employees >>>>>> who support air traffic controllers.


    Key word ASSIST.
    Also known as gophers.

    As well as the people who make sure to always have spare parts in
    inventory for when the techs call in at 3am...

    Should be automated by now.

    How long have you had automated grocery delivery items to keep your
    refrigerator stocked? We "should" have had that by now too.

    My refrigerator isn't responsible for 400 lives on an aircraft.
    But since you brought it up, those refrigerators are for sale now.
    See Samsung smart appliances.

    Oh, I know that they exist ... as well as how they've had very small
    market penetration: it shows that regardless of what tech geeks want to believe about what it 'better', the consumer isn't in agreement, as
    manifested by how they're not opening up their wallet for it.

    And that's for a mere refrigerator, which doesn't have critical
    reliability and performance requirements to keep a couple hundred people
    safe from being killed.


    Likewise, the FAA is reliant on Congress to authorize funding to make
    such system upgrades. We know that the GOP has killed that repeatedly,
    such as in 2019, so so much as we would like to say "should" we know
    that it isn't, so firing the staff who was doing this workflow before it
    gets replaced is deliberate & malicious sabotage of public services.

    I disagree.

    Go right ahead, but you're still wrong.

    Trimming waste has been needed for a long time.

    DOGE made the claim of an easy $2T in waste-cutting savings too, yet
    here we are months later and they've kept on cutting back their claims
    on how much they've actually found. IIRC, I think that the latest is
    that the amount verified is down to an embarrassing ~$60M.

    Likewise, DOGE claimed that Social Security's internal audits of 0.3%
    were wrong, claiming that 40% of calls to SS were fraudulent, so they
    built a system and has found that the actual failure rate was 2
    *possible* cases (not even confirmed) in 110,000 = 0.0018%


    And if Trump's FAA modernization plan goes through it will
    create plenty of high tech jobs servicing, installing, designing and
    so forth MODERN equipment, not something built in the early 1970's.

    You're inadvertently implying that operational costs for all this high
    tech stuff are actually going to increase, not decrease.

    Plus: got a microwave oven?

    Because its core technology is a magnetron vaccume tube, invented back
    in 1945 ... and it is still what's used in a 2025 model.

    So if you do have a microwave, you're being a hypocrite.


    Taking a physical inventory is only needed on occasion to true
    up the inventory.

    There's that too, but this is simply having the people in the department
    who track consumption to whatever degree and order the needed spares.
    Otherwise, the shelves run dry no matter how much (if at all) you
    conduct physical inventories of them.

    So?
    Were ALL of these jobs eliminated?

    What resources were given to those not fired to double/triple their productivity overnight? Because if you can't answer that, then you have
    to admit that those actions were invariably cause system failures.

    Amazon can tell me where my package currently is, where it's coming from, >>> and at what time it will be delivered.

    Which is sometimes actually correct.

    You're grasping at straws again.

    Nope, for not 100% of Amazon packages are delivered by Amazon trucks.

    <https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/02/17/faa-workers-fired-trump-plane-helicopter-collision/78956241007/>

    Enviornmental compliance workers?
    ROTFLMAO!

    so green new scam BS employees.

    Nope: you've clearly never had to handle or dispose (legally) of old
    industrial capacitors, whose fluids contained PCP's.

    Actually I have.

    LOL, then why did you try to disregard compliance? You dumped them
    illegally, no doubt.

    Actually I wasn't responsible for disposal, I just needed to know and understand the regulations.

    You make too many false assumptions.

    Translation: you're backpedalling on your previously self-important claim.

    And you can add CRT (not THAT CRT) disposal processes to my resume'.

    Same: dumped illegally.


    Nope.

    "Maybe, maybe not." /s


    'The impacted workers include personnel hired for FAA radar, landing and >>>>>> navigational aid maintenance, one air traffic controller told The

    <https://apnews.com/article/doge-faa-air-traffic-firings-safety-67981aec33b6ee72cbad8dcee31f3437>


    Was his ATC station broken?

    The reason he was not allowed to talk to the media was because the FAA did not want
    the facts that the ATC system is antique leaked.
    Sorry but maintenance is NOT the problem.

    It is a problem when you fire those who provision the replacement parts. >>>
    From what I am reading, some critical spare parts need to be obtained from eBay
    because they are obsolete and no longer manufactured.


    Sounds like a minimum wage/skill level job to me.

    The pay level doesn't matter, because without someone doing the work, it
    doesn't get done, and breakdowns can't be fixed.


    ROTFLMAO!


    Infrastructure IS the problem.

    And per the above: "...workers...responsible for the upkeep of...
    facilities were among those fired.'"
    ^^^^^^^^^^

    Duplication of services.

    Redundancy may be justified to achieve the system uptime reliability needed. >>
    Incompetence.
    Poor reviews.
    etc.

    More vague hand-waiving of innuendo lacking substance.

    Up until DOGE, it was darn near impossible to get fired from a federal job. >>
    Bullshit. I've seen Feds in the office get fired for nonperformance
    long before DOGE existed.

    And how many were fired in comparison to how many remained in those roles? >>
    Great question, since you're who's trying to justify every individual
    fired as having been incompetent: so what's the answer?

    I have a problem with ATC trainees being given the answers to critical exams because
    they are not intelligent enough to learn the material.

    No, that's your assumption of what's happening: how many actual USAJOBS
    applications have you yourself personally processed?

    And just because they are DEI hires.
    <https://www.dailymail.co.uk/video/news/video-3386099/DEI-activist-heard-offering-answers-air-traffic-control-entry-exam.html>

    Nope. Because if you actually knew how the sausage is made, you'd know
    where it is broken and if you had anyone trying to apply, you'd offer
    them any & all tips you knew to get them past the bullshit gates.

    For example, back in 2019 I suggested a friend apply for a position and
    they declined my offer of application coaching ... and they failed at
    the first gate. When we discussed it, I gave them a proverbial slap
    upside the head because on a language requirement they gave themselves
    only a 3 on a 1-5 scale instead of 5, because the requirement was a "do
    you have proficiency?", and they downgraded their score because they
    knew that their proficiency was high, but that a local could determine
    that they weren't a fellow local (ie, they'd have an accent).

    This is an example of where honest high proficiency candidates do get
    themselves excluded because they hold themselves to a higher standard.


    And multiple instances of avoidance from pothead. All because they knew
    that they were blowing BS smoke & didn't fool everyone.

    Didn't think I was starting such a LONG thread ....

    Short version - the 60s/70s ATC system is OVER -
    cannot be supported any more. No more experts,
    no more parts, no more nothin'

    IF we don't fix it QUICK then ANY kind of air
    travel/commerce in the USA just *ENDS*

    If I was an insurer ... NOPE !!!

    Govt has been notoriously bad at "quick" -
    not to mention "within budget".

    Musk and buds CAN get it done fairly quick and
    well ... BUT that's not how all the contractors
    will DO it. THEY want it to take a DECADE. They
    want it to cost TEN TIMES the initial estimate.
    This is the NORM. Govt projects - like WOW !

    We don't HAVE a decade folks.

    This fix is going to take aggressive presidential
    action - a big dick behind the project.

    NO delays, NO over-pricing ... GET IT DONE FAST.

    Fast, correct, or cheap. You only get two of the three.

    All this bs and drama with Musk in Washington to cut spending and you
    guys just keep talking about how we need to spend more, not less.


    If you JUST GOTTA then you JUST GOTTA. Really looks
    like the ATC system has hit the final level of
    degradation and we HAVE to have a good working system.

    Bad timing, but what's new in the universe eh ?

    Oh well, toss enough illegals off BidenCare and
    that'll probably pay for it .........

    It'd be NICE if we didn't need to upgrade the mil
    right now either ... but we GOTTA, the war hawks
    ARE circling.

    Timing nothing. The GOP in Congress have been working overtime to
    starve essential services of capital needed for efficient operation.
    Then they complain about inefficiencies and claim they'll fix it
    followed by an orgy of spending that drives up the debt but due to corruption, doesn't solve the problems.

    Time did not begin on Jan 20th 2025. This has been
    a 40 year problem fer-sure. No admin did much about
    it - Dem OR GOP. Not profitable politics.

    But, now, time has run out. Good politics or not
    the whole system HAS to be replaced, FAST.

    Hate 'em or hate 'em more ... Musk's tech bros are
    the only people who can get it done right in a short
    time-span ... and Trump has to find ways to short-out
    the usual eternal procedural/legal/profiteering
    govt-contract bullshit.

    Oh, also has to be a 'legacy' - experts and spare
    parts and such, enough to last maybe 50 years.

    OK, a lot of what's now "hardware" probably CAN
    be emulated via software these days. 60s/70s
    chips were SLOW. Software/firmware eliminates the
    need for TOO many spare parts. Something like
    an IBM "Big Black Box" mainframe plus some FPGAs
    and you have a much more sustainable/upgradable
    overall system. Much of yesteryear's hardware
    isn't hardware anymore, just various kinds of
    emulations, maybe with a little 'AI' assistance.

    Back when I was soldering-together hardware you
    often didn't need EXTREME speed, just FUNCTION.
    Instead of buying various logic/counter/inverter
    chips from Radio Shack for several bucks each
    I found that an 8-pin PIC micro-controller chip,
    cheaper, could EMULATE most of that old hardware
    fast enough to meet my needs. AND/OR/NOR/XOR/
    div-N counters/buffers/etc ... now all in
    SOFTWARE ... and that let me make 'non-existent'
    chips and even add extra IQ.

    Those were/are LOW-power micro-controllers (you
    can still buy them), but Good Enough. Saved a lot
    of time and money and PC board real-estate. Need
    a little change, just re-program. Look up "FPGA" -
    amazingly powerful tech ... hell, you can program
    them to PRETEND to be an 8088 or Z80 or a number
    of other CPUs if you want or just to add huge,
    reconfigurable, intelligence.

    25 years from now, coordinating all ground/air/space
    traffic will be pure "AI". It will be able to learn
    new approaches, new add-on hardware, new issues.

    Don't use TODAY'S "AI" however - not even Musk's. Tends
    to LIE and sometimes HALLUCINATE and even to get
    malicious sometimes "just for fun ?". It will be
    half the real cost of today's needed system and
    perform better and longer. Again mostly 'software',
    can migrate seamlessly to newer underlying computers.
    Raytheon makes a better radar/lidar system, just
    kinda EXPLAIN how to use it to the "AI".

    I made a fair living on hardware/software/systems
    stuff for over 40 years - "special purpose/need"
    solutions were my forte and the most fun. If
    you can't buy it then you MAKE it.
