At a safety summit in Anchorage, lawmakers and safety officials revealed that up to 20 out of hundreds of weather stations are non-functional daily—crippling flight operations. Despite plans for 150 new stations, carriers can’t rely on existing ones, which take months or years to fix. NTSB chair Jennifer Homendy called it a “serious safety issue,” urging immediate action—not shutdowns, but repairs—even bringing in outside help. Ideas include hiring local crews and setting up spare parts depots. The FAA admits stations will stay offline for now while exploring backup options. This comes just after the NTSB released a deadly crash report with recommendations ignored too long; Homendy warned: “Too many lives are at stake.” Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
