ITYS #501

Actually, I guess this should be a WTYS -- We Told You So -- in that PASS told us and we had the good sense to believe them and tell everyone else. From the Salt Lake Tribune:

”A Transportation Department inspector general report last year recommended that the FAA periodically study FTI to ensure Melbourne, Florida-based Harris meets requirements that prevent outages.

"Technical problems are causing unscheduled outages and creating risks to air-traffic control operations," according to the report. “

And now the Inspector General is telling you.

(Don’t miss the irony of the Salt Lake Tribune depending upon (a contractor) Bloomberg News to cover a story -- a story about dependence upon a contractor to provide a vital service -- that originated in Salt Lake City.)
