FAA Computers: You're Doing It Wrong

It seems a computer glitch at the FAA's Atlanta facility has affected air traffic at various airports across the nation, including O'Hare and Midway. According to the Trib, delays are longer at Midway (up to an hour and fourty-five minutes) than at O'Hare (15 to 30 minutes). The glitch has forced the FAA to process flight plans manually which takes longer than an electronic transfer.
