MCI moving flights back an hour ... seems like things are starting to break starting with LGA & ATC

MCI moving flight back an hour ... seems like things are starting to break starting with ATC

Flights are starting to back up in smaller ports so LGA back up is starting to ripple beyond NY.

ATC = air traffic control, my understanding there's little to no redundancy in those positions ... which is crazy in and of itself.

I think ATC is Air Traffic Controllers. They were already working 60 hour weeks before Trump's folly Hekate Jan 2019 #6

It is Kansas City.

It is all over the news, it is obvious what the OP is talking about.

LGA is La Guardia, New York. Not sure what ATC is, but ATL is Atlanta.

I'm thinking he's saying flights out at the major airports are starting to back up.

SAN - San Diego - shows all departures and arrivals on time so far, but it looks like there's been a few flights to major airports here and there made unavailable (about five), which may be normal on a Friday.
