OT: PSA Expect massive delays if you need to air travel this week

Long story short - FAA had to ground all flights nationwide starting at 6:30am this morning due to a computer systems outage of the notification system they use

The most recent update from a couple minutes ago is that some flights are resuming at Atlanta and Newark, not because systems are restored but in order to reduce congestion

And while this is good news, this overall event is not something the airline industry can easily handle. From crew staffing to needing planes to take certain flights to get planes at gates in order for future departures, any kind of ripple to the system here snowballs. And to cancel at least 3 to 4 hours of all flights for all airports and all airlines is going to be felt for a while, with the impact likely being felt for the remainder of the week, if not longer.

If you're due to fly anywhere this week, expect headaches, and may the odds be ever in your favor.

His decision was made after a phone call with longtime Virginia Tech assistant coach Bud Foster. All Foster told him was, "We win. They don't."
