By next week, it's likely that Tropical Storm Fay will have affected five different ARTCC zones as it slowly moves back west. From an organizational standpoint, how does the FAA deal with this?
Who decides to close down air lanes? Who makes the call whether a plane can fly through a storm or must be routed around? Does En Route do most of the heavy lifting? Is it the same procedure for the daily bad weather ATL gets in the summer?
Just a couple of things I've wondered as I've watched the tracks on Flight Aware.
