Even though the FAA lifted a four hour nationwide ground stop just after 8pm ET last night, the ripple effects are staggering and will be felt for the next several days.  From passengers trying to make weddings, graduations, and vacations to college and professional sporting teams trying to make it their respective games and competitions, millions of Americans are having to disband or massively  adjust their weekend plans.  This is only the third time in history the FAA has issued a nationwide ground stop, and while we have not heard one word from President Trump as of this recording, his cabinet members are publicly praising his leadership.  Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy instead, used this system failure as an opportunity to point fingers and demand more funding from Congress to repair our antiquated communications system.
