Nationwide ground stop

[GolfChuck]

I think they were trying to cheat, take off VFR and try and get clearance once airborne...they are back on the ground now. Good try, but DENIED!

Who still flies West Winds anyway? Haven't seen one of them in about 10 years in flying condition and it had a Mexican tail number so it probably wasn't airworthy by our standards.

But seriously, the odds of this back to back with the MS outage and it NOT being a cyberattack have gotta be astronomical.

Everything is stopped. Anyone have any intel on what’s going on?

Looks like you’ll need to find out by Checking Twitter. Apparently this is the new way for the FAA to send out important messages.

Such a cool looking airplane. I know the folks @ Nomadic had one they used to ferry crews during the COVID madness but sold it a couple of months ago.

We were just about to push back from Punta Cana and got this message:

There are worse places to get stuck.

Be careful what you ask for...hopefully it's resolved sooner than later!

American Ailrines says rest of the day is disrupted.

I’m not saying it does, just that outages on these scales on consecutive days seems way too sus to be coincidence

To confirm, this is VFR traffic too?

The wording is "ALL".

Which means.... well... "ALL"

How do they stop flights out of uncontrolled airports?

September was a test.

This is a cyber attack and we don’t have serious people in important positions that are able to recognize or admit it.

Microsoft outages, weird maritime accidents and now “something bad but unspecified” is going down.

This isn’t a coincidence.

But let me tell you about my ballroom.

Or airplanes without radios.

Don't think that's going to happen.

It's possible, but I doubt it. It's more likely someone pushed a bad update to some software. That is what happened with Microsoft.
