The FAA rolled out its Strategic Management of Airspace Routing Trajectories (SMART) system yesterday (Thursday, November 12).
Today is Friday the 13th.
In unrelated news, DHS Secretary Markwayne Mullin just held a press conference to answer questions about the nationwide FAA ground stop. I would think a subject like this would be the turf of the Department of Transportation.
When asked if the ground stop could be AI-related, Sec. Mullin answered, “You can’t rule anything out” after clarifying his preference for the term “S.I.”.
This is all happening as a global outage for Microsoft cloud based software enters its second day.
I’m just glad I’ve finally got these panic attacks under control.
