Has never heard of ACARS (Aircraft Communications, Addressing and Reporting System), CPDLC (Controller Pilot Data Link Communications) and FANS (Future Air Navigation System), but since he's only a fucking pax how would the stupid fuck know?

Three years, huh? Just enough time to either (a) drop it in someone else's lap to clean up, or (b) get a weary, impoverished serfdom to "just accept" it.

That tried to install new enterprise management software that was supposed to manage and integrate all aspects of the plant into one system. This was a single plant with 300 or so employees. It took them well over a year to get it operational and it still had so many issues they ended up scrapping the whole thing and starting from scratch. I can't for the life of me seeing them redesigning a system as complex as air traffic control in 3 years. But hey, at least someone is going to get paid upfront, that will surely encourage them to get it right faster.

They are the support systems that the ATC's rely on.

And it will be created by Musk's script kiddies, and will be powered by AI™.

If this is for Musk, it will be nothing but a clusterfuck.

he said would easily be demonstrated by the end of 2017. But instead, crickets. But that didn't stop Musk from getting many billions of dollars from his stock fraud operation -- all up front, of course.

A supposed high-speed rail using pneumatic tubes.

As noted in this thread, the timing of these catastrophic failures seems to align with the incoming administration. I expect the DOGE boys slid some kind of code into some of the systems and this is the result. I know Muskrat was adding stuff to the Atlantic City, NJ airport facility - apparently StarLink related.

Billionaires profiteering while cutting jobs for regular working folks and anything that helps the disabled and or disadvantaged thrive or even survive.

Maybe ALL of Trump's contractors should have said that...............

TRANSLATION: Turn air traffic control over to Musk and his whiz kids.

Beyond ambitious. More like fantasy.

From whose ass did they pull this? The ATC system is MASSIVE. You don’t just make changes without testing and testing and testing.

And where is the competitive RFP outlining the requirements? Who are the potential bidders? How long will that take, Mr. Duffy?

And #1: Where’s the money????

Like his first administration, his second is staffed with malcontents who have no idea what the government does, how it works, nor its complexity.

Done!

before this is over. Understaffed and waiting for a new system to be set up? What could go wrong?

that's a small price to pay to "con"-vince the 'Murican publick that letting F-eloon run ATC is a good thing.

After all, red don's idol putin has been known to down an airplane now and then.


USA, meet toilet.
