.Delta CEO blames FAA outage on insufficient funding
The Wednesday outage grounded 10,000 flights momentarily and brought renewed criticism against the FAA. The organization blamed personnel incompetence in the aftermath.
In an appearance on CNBC's Squawk Box, Ed Bastian passed blame away from the FAA, saying that the fault lay with Washington.“It was a difficult day on Wednesday for our customers as well as our own employees. And candidly, it’s unacceptable,” he said. “I don’t recall us ever shutting down the national air space due to a similar type of technology outage for several hours.
