The FAA implemented the SMART AI tool 3 days ago. The National Air Traffic Controllers Association said it was NOT consulted or involved in the “design, testing, or implementation of SMART and therefore cannot speak to its effect on the air traffic control workforce.”

Squarely on this administration's shoulders.  Total inept. Yet they spend millions on a damn ballroom.

Microsoft down, FAA down, last week it was supermarket and
blood bank fridges across Europe and fridges at a U.S.
military camp being hacked into going overtemp. Last year
Portugal and Spain had a blanket power blackout. We are far
too reliant on computers and the internet now. My employer
suffered a cyber attack last year, and it fucked up
operations for about 6 months.

2019: Rep. Sean Duffy voted against the bill to reopen and fund DOT and the FAA during the shutdown.

2025: Sec. Duffy boasted of cutting $9.5B from DOT in his first 100 days.

September 2026: He unveiled an $875M AI air traffic tool and touted "remarkable progress."

November 2026: A nationwide ground stop on overloaded old routers, and suddenly a $50B "emergency."

Ppl need to remember Biden signed the Infrastructure Investment & Jobs Act into law around Nov. 2021*

-C!

*Congress approved the $12.5 billion allocation for FAA air traffic control and infrastructure modernization through a reconciliation package signed into law by in 2025. Was it enough... apparently not.
