   There is also a new ATC system being rolled out, as early as today

      I suspect it is vibe coded. Contract won in June. Deploying in September.

      Good luck to all of us.

         Deploying first to DC? Yeah, that’ll end well.

            Honestly. Of all the places to deploy first I’m happy it’s that one.

            The government politicians who approved this are frequent flyers out of there, so they’re at least getting their lives out on the line before the rest of the country if it proves ill managed or conceived.

            It’s basically dogfooding.

         I can guarantee you that it was not. Check out DO-278A, and its standards and guidelines that must be followed.

            ...Or what? The US government is in move-fast-and-break-things mode, and is running on a skeleton crew besides.

            So it was vibe coded by a junior consultant making $20 an hour..?
