Don't mistake soft words for a lack of conviction or naively believing the
system works.
We run this country. We have to remind everyone of that. Those morons in office
work for us, not the other way around. Right now they work for themselves with
little to no oversight.
Anyway, I've spoken my piece. Not getting any further into the political rabbit
hole.
Night everyone.

you honestly think that? not a chance in hell pal. The only way that would
happen is before somebody closes the pen and phone window a single person
writes it into law. One man with a sheep might pull out if you put him in the
spotlight, but if you have a barn full of men each with a sheep, you might
convince a few to pull out, but never a majority, and we arent even talking
sheep at this point, we are talking fresh toothless calves.

Won't be easy.
We'll have to convince them to vote on killing their golden goose.

I'm pretty skeptical of partisans and career politicians. Term limits..
but it will never happen. Do a couple terms and then go home and work like
everyone else. No, instead they sit there for decades milking connections to
get rich and exempt themselves from the laws they force upon us, then collect a
pension after some scandal and/or their party disowns them and they finally
fade away.

This is only a couple miles from our office. They had all the
local news choppers up in the air over it on Friday. I was surprised that it
didn't garner more national coverage. I guess since it wasn't the terror
threat of the day, it didn't get any traction. Just a disgruntled employee.
Even the first reports said it was not a terrorist act.

Oh yeah,
I'm in Chicago for a few days. Flew in on thursday before
this happened. My wife flew in on Saturday and ended up with a nasty delay in
MSP since there were very very few flights flying into the affected area, which
basically includes both chicago airports, and the two airports up in wisconsin.
Thousands of flights cancelled over the last couple of days.
That's the big news here.

On Friday, ATCSCC Advisory 20 of 26-Sep-2014 went out. When
operators, controllers and airport managers saw the title, a gasp of disbelief
was heard. The problem was simple enough to state in three words, and complex
enough to cancel thousand of flights and cost hundred of millions of dollars:
ZAU ATC ZERO.
ZAU is the call sign of the Chicago Air Rout Traffic
Control Center (ARTCC), which covers northern Illinois and Indiana, southern
Wisconsin, western Iowa, and south eastern Michigan. There are two "sides" at
an ARTCC. ZAU-LO handed traffic destined for airports in the covered area,
ZAU-HI handled traffic overflying. Both were amongst the busiest in the
country. ZAU-HI was busy with traffic from the east to west, as well as
European traffic heading to Houston and Dallas-FW, ZAU-LO had to feed in
traffic from airports like GYY, MKE, RFD, PIA, and the two busiest airports in
the area; Chicago Midway International and O'Hare International, one of the
busiest airports in the world.
On Friday morning, Brian Howard, a contract employee of the
FAA and holding full credentials to the ZAU datacenters, set a fire in the
telecom room, destroying 23 of the 29 rack and disconnecting all the controller
stations from the associated radars and radio transmitters needed to watch and
guide traffic through the busy sector. As the consoles dropped offline, the ZAU
duty manager had no choice -- they called ZZZ, the FAA command center and
reported ATC ZERO -- no controllers available, control center offline.
