Chaos all across U.S. after FAA System Outage | Thousands of Flights Canceled

Have you heard any more interesting exchanges? You can send them over to my email for a possible Part 2 video.

They should have put a NOTAM out about the system failure

“Nobody reads those.” The Terms and Conditions of the aviation industry.

"Best rate of taxi" Just keep it below V1 and you're good! 😂

“I tried my best, I’m sorry.” Most polite JFK controller.

I love that Newark controller trying to help out the Alaska flight. “Hey, we’re getting word there’s a nationwide shutdown. You cleared for max taxi speed to get off the ground before I get specific orders to stop you. 😂”

That last statement: "Nobody reads NOTAMs". Gold.

Love jetblues comment at Newark 😂😂 “No one reads notams”

Poor Alaska 31. Seconds away from not being shut down for hours. Ouch...

Southwest: sigh of relief

"Alaska 299, are you guys ready to go? Like....now?" Lol that was a good one.

"After an engineer mistakenly replaced one file with another during a routine scheduled systems maintenance, the NOTAM system stopped processing updates" Maan that's a bad day for that dude.

I could only imagine the headaches flight attendants and customer service reps had to deal with. 😮

I really felt that disappointment from the Alaska 31 pilot.

Aircraft Dispatcher here. The outage occurred sometime around 9pm EST or so Tuesday night. I had an hour left in my shift before heading home (and only 4 flights left that hadn't departed luckily). We were told to put alternate on all our flights and have the pilots confirm with tower runway was open and FICON was all good for them to land. I called all the towers they were going to just to confirm ahead of time for myself. But geez, I was so lucky it occured at the end of the day for me. I can't imagine the chaos if it started during the middle of my shift. (I also didn't work the following day, THANK GOD)

Insane how a single outage can basically cripple an industry

You missed the part at JFK where one says “go home and have a good one” and tower replies “I’ll be here all day”

Years ago I was flying to somewhere like Germany with another instructor. I said “Hey, did you get the NOTAMS?” He was like “Yep, I got the NOTAMS.” “Was anything useful in there?” “I said I got the NOTAMS I didn’t say I read the NOTAMS.” 😂

"Nobody reads NOTAMs". I thought that only applied to us flight simmers using OFPs generated by Simbrief. 😂😂

I was flying an A320 out of San Diego one morning. The ceiling was 400 feet which means that due to terrain to the east departing aircraft had to takeoff on 27 while arrivals had to land on 9. So that caused a bit of gridlock. Now 400 feet normally isn't an issue since an ILS approach usually goes down to 200 feet. But the NOTAMS had the normal 200 feet raised to 500 feet because of a temporary construction crane close to the airport. So everyone coming in on approach is going missed approach and diverting to their alternate. Then comes SouthWest Airlines. They break out and land. The copilot says "hey we broke out at 400 feet, no problem getting in" 😬 Among all the "yippi ki yeas" comments someone mentions the NOTAM. It got real quiet then. I would have liked to have been privy to the comments in that cockpit as they were taxiing in.
