Something got discovered and they are fixing it.


Thanks for the information.

One would think the problem would have been discovered long before
seven years had past.


You're assuming nothing has changed in that seven years. More likely the controllers got some new piece of equipment
and that and ADS-B aren't playing well together. Or possibly the airspace was recently carved up differently. So the
geeks are hard at work coming up with a fix.

The way I read it was some folks from DC watched over the shoulders of the Alaskan controllers and said you can't
maintain correct separation using the procedures they had developed over 7 years of ever safer operations, so basically
they are back to the "report passing a fix and then the next guy is cleared to the fix" procedure from the 60's...
