Complete comms failure last night

Honestly, this sounds exactly like infrastructure at every business I’ve worked for. Guess that’s what people mean when they want to run government like a business

Correct. It’s a slap-dash setup done for expediency rather than reliability and even though several of these failures popped up during their testing even a couple weeks before cut over (they never bothered to tell us until after it failed for real) they deemed it 99.7% reliable.

That’s an abysmal reliability rating. At my last non-flying gig our cloud-based, non-critical systems were in breach of contract if we dropped below 99.99% reliability in certain cases- and this was just commercial - nothing safety or infrastructure related.

We weren’t able to deliver 5-nines at the user edge (we could at the core) without massive complexity and cost that made it not worth it.

Does that “99.7%” mean it’s a coin flip for (cumulatively) ~30 minutes per week if the service is available?
 
@NovemberEcho, have you seen the 1999 movie Ground Control with Kiefer Sutherland? I can’t believe I’ve never heard of this movie… It just popped up on TV.

Screw up, Move up. Its been the FAA way as long as ive been in the agency. Ive seen people horrendous at management, just get shuffled along and out of the way until they are literally working at the Air Traffic Command Center in DC.

Sadly, can substitute nearly any government agency into this very accurate description.
