There is growing confusion over the FAA's decision to this morning following the failure of a digital safety update system which many pilots say is not crucial, and should never have halted air traffic. According to the FAA, a problem with its (Notice to Air Missions) system meant all flights had to land and stay grounded until 9am. It has now been fixed, but the outage caused catastrophic delays across the country; more than 8,000 flights have been delayed and 1,000 canceled with more disappointment on the way as airlines and airport scramble to play catchup.
