| Old Skool | Strangely this is a common occurance for JAX center. At least it was at the beginning of the summer. I remember tons of flights being "flow controlled" out of MCO. |

| Senior Member | It's official... they've gone to ATC Zero on the west coast. You can check it out at: NATIONAL AIRSPACE SYSTEM STATUS You don't usually see something like that. Wonder what caused the outage? Equipment failure wouldn't surprise me. |

| Agent Smith | Seems like the stations that were making the biggest hoopla about LA center going out were invariably network affiliates that broadcast the show "LAX". Hmmm... News directors motives are so "wafer thin" sometimes. |

| Did any of those stations interview Blair or Heather for their opinion on the *emergency* and how they would have fixed it? |

The sad thing, is that people 'in the know' hated the show. But people who don't know jack about aviation think the shows the greatest thing since individually wrapped kraft cheese singles. |
