    Once they finish making the switch to SkyNet today nothing else will go wrong. Ever. Promise.

    They're just not pulling up flight plans right now, so that's causing the delay. All of the other normal ATC functions are working just fine.

    @averyrm: Yeah, the whole thing is a little overblown. Newark probably experiences delays like this on a monthly basis.

    That said, my heart goes out to all you domestic coach/business airline customers on any given day.

    @brandegee: If not weekly.

    At Philly I'm convinced they hired a guy who's job is to look for clouds. If he even thinks he sees a possibility of future clouds, he hits the big red button and shuts down the airspace.

    One thing about this map, check out the triangular 'dead zones' in the southwest. It appears Area 51 is a no fly zone.

    An AirTran Airways spokesman said there's no danger to flights in the air

    Unless you're flying AirTran.
