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.

Little bit of haterism going on here, he's one of the
better ones IMO. Does he not hang out upstate enough
for you guys?

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
<http://www.fly.faa.gov/adv/adv_otherdis.jsp?advn=20&adv_date=09262014&facId=DCC/ZAU&title=ZAU+GROUND+STOP&titleDate=09/26/14>.
ZAU
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Air_Route_Traffic_Control_Center>
is the call sign of the Chicago
Air Rout Traffic Control Center
(ARTCC), which covers
<http://www.fly.faa.gov/Information/west/zau/zau.htm>
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
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gary/Chicago_International_Airport>,
MKE
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Mitchell_International_Airport>,
RFD
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Rockford_International_Airport>,
PIA
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Wayne_A._Downing_Peoria_International_Airport>,
and the two busiest airports in
the area; Chicago Midway
International
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicago_Midway_International_Airport>
and O'Hare International
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O%27Hare_International_Airport>,
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
<http://posttrib.suntimes.com/30167722-537/flight-delays-to-continue-after-arson.html>
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
<http://www.fly.faa.gov/flyfaa/usmap.jsp>
and reported ATC ZERO -- no
controllers available, control
center offline.
