Why would a phone switching failure imply a problem with ATC.

Because a journalist, or some other person with a motive to spin the
story, says so.

The FAA "HAD" microwave link redundancy to all their ARTCC
locations.

In the infinite wisdom of ignorant unqualified FAA bean
counters in Washington with their head up the ass of
contractors they decided to go single threaded with just
big business phone company's for ARTCC communications to
LIVE AIR TRAFFIC

At one time the FAA had communication redundancy at their
major control centers like Memphis. Now they don't. But hey
they got plenty of Diversity and Civil rights staff in the
FAA. But no redundancy for ATC communications in major
control centers.

Just ****ing stupid. No more no less. Typical Government.
Clueless and incompetent and misguided priorities.

See Katrina and FEMA


Wow, a graveyard spiral of dummity. This could get interesting. I haven't
seen stupidity reach critical mass since Tarver and Ralphie left usenet.
