“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.

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 to systems still running shit like FORTRAN 77.

I suspect a cascade failure as well. Being almost wholly ignorant, my plan would have been to implement the system on the side with no interface to “real” systems. “Read only”, if ya get me.
