That’s my assumption as well. Given they didn’t even bother to talk to the ATC union, I can’t imagine they spent much time figuring out how to integrate their fancy new AI with any of the absolutely critical legacy systems. SMART is supposed to be monitoring all the data, which means it has to plug into god only knows how many interfaces for systems still running shit written in FORTRAN 77. Cascade failure city…
The initial rollout was Tuesday and should have been easily ignored if it went sideways.
“AI says this route is better.”
Fine. Humans still had to agree and implement. Money says it conflicted with an older system and something shit the bed.
