Nationwide ground stop in effect for all U.S. flights.
Apparently due to an FAA computer glitch.

>>> Does that mean the airlines can hit the DOT with fines now?

"What's good for the goose..." :cool:

It may be related a massive cyber attack or a capabilities test by a foreign power. I have experienced 3 computer glitches on 3 separate computer systems in the last 6 hours, including a large corporate network.

The corporate network was not responsive for about 30 minutes. I entered a trade and the confirmation contained multiple data errors. The startup messaging on one of my iOS devices was missing one of the messages. If the market starts looking weak, I will buy a crash lottery ticket.

"The outage comes as a result of the failure of the FAA's NOTAM (Notice to Air Missions) system". The FAA has now ordered a ground stop across the country. It is not known when the system will be restored.

It is not clear yet if this system failure was simply due to a hardware/software fault or due to malicious hacker activity.
