quote:fun fact...when duffy was a congressman he voted to reduce funding for the FAA
DUFFY blames Congress: So what happened? Right? What we have is an incredibly old air traffic control system. The president, for the last year has been asking congress to fully fund a full build of a brand new air traffic control system. Give us the money to fix it.

DUFFY ON GROUND STOP: The president has asked for $30 billion. I want $50 billion. Congress wastes a lot of money. Let's get the money so we never have to come at 830 at night and have a press conference on why air travel was shut down

Not really..
The 2019 vote was against a bill that included FAA funding, but it also covered several other government agencies and programs.
Duffy's spokesperson said the bill offered only a small increase in FAA funding.
PolitiFact examined the voting record and rated the broader claim that Duffy voted against upgrading air traffic control systems Mostly False, because he supported other FAA funding and modernization legislation.
Sources:
- PolitiFact's investigation of Sean Duffy's voting record
- WRAL's fact check
The important distinction is that he did vote against one bill containing FAA funding, but he did not consistently vote against FAA funding.

MULLIN: We've seen zero evidence that this was cyber attack or SI attack.
DOOCY: Then it must be something else. What is the other thing? What caused the instability?
DUFFY: We have old switches, old routers. It's an old system that went down and went down everywhere. It got overloaded. I don't want to rule out that we didn't have nefarious activity here.

Damn you don’t expect cgrand to be straight up on something like that. The sound bite of saying Duffy voted against it fits the agenda

Update from the gate agent: we have no idea when your flight will depart and if you cancel now you cover any expense. So I can’t reclaim my bags because the airline hasn’t officially cancelled the flight. And if I do end up having to book a hotel for however long in the city of my layover I would be expected to cover the full cost. What a system.

Downvoted because he was on the Boston season, not San Francisco.

It sucks but it's hard to expect the airlines to cover all the costs associated with an outage they didn't create.
I don't know the solution. Try to charm them into giving you miles or something maybe.

My daughter is boarding now at DFW. They were in the process of boarding when flights were grounded so maybe they’re sort of going in the order they should have gone out????

This is a classic shakedown.

Q: Are you saying that it was the FAA patching a system that caused this outage?
DUFFY: This is our old analog system that got overloaded with data and started to experience these issues. It's important that we're able to finish this work with additional resources.

This wasn’t the airline’s fault. I’m not sure why you’re mad at them.
