Ditto for the Kankakee (Illinois) FSS. Option 1 for a briefer,
usually available in under 1 minute.

Has anyone else noticed that the time you're on hold to talk to a briefer
is
getting longer and longer? I noticed this about a year ago when I still
lived in Florida and thought it was just a local problem. Now I live in
Virginia and they have the same problem here. It used to be you could get
a
human on the phone in a minute or so. Now it is taking about 5 to 10.

Is this how the FAA is trying to kill the FSS system? They have made no
bones about wanting to reduce the coast of the FSS system.
