WTFU w/ FAA?

[gatt]

"(CBS) NEW YORK CBS 2 HD has learned the Federal Aviation Administration is
experiencing computer problems in departure planning, forcing numerous
departure delays at airports nationwide.

Airports are apparently being forced to manually plug in flight information
in order for planes to depart. It is not yet known how long delays could
last for.

Peter Mertz, a New York City resident, was on board Spirit Air flight 313 to
Detroit and said he had been sitting on the tarmac at La Guardia Airport for
nearly 90 minutes. By 2:45 he said the plane had begun to move slowly for
takeoff, and that it appeared other flights were taking off again.

But it still takes a village to raise an idiot.
