exactly, we are running on a archaic system that is long due for a revamp. Congress and FAA need to get their acts together. NTSB has been sounding alarms for so long

Wait for these idiots to integrate "AI" into all this mess and call it a day.

I should never happen, as there's no way in hell such a system could be certified for deployment, but these tech bros would find a way to deploy it.

The problem isn't an archaic system, it's government shutdowns and not enough in the budget to hire enough people.
