    If it saves a single human life, we need to keep those planes grounded indefinitely.

        “At around 8:50 a.m., [the FAA] announced that the ground stop had been lifted and that normal air traffic operations were resuming gradually across the country.”

          anything but normal.

                Two thoughts:

                Any chance it’s a hack?

                Imagine being a poor southwest passenger from December who was finally leaving on his rebooked flight today…

                  Of course, FAA is saying it's not. Of course.

                  Perhaps the cause is a bit more mundane:

                        Dems have control of the Senate when the last FAA chief quit. Don't know what is taking them so long to confirm the next FAA chief.

                            @George-K, the timeline doesn't work. The last FAA chief resigned in March 2022. The picture you posted of Schumer praying was taken in June 2020.

                              @Axtremus thanks for the timeline. The photo was tended as an illustration, not history. Since Schumer has a history of devoted prayer, and I have no reason to think that this was a political stunt, I can only assume that he has continued his reverent tradition.

                                      You knew that was going to be the end result. My question is why would a contractor be in a position to do this?
