Right.....we wouldn't want anyone to keep track of or too many people to see how many Open Tickets there are all across the country on the Asinine & Shitty Observing System (ASOS)!

The whole ASLOP program has been an exercise in bureaucratic butt-covering for more than 25 years...

That's not the reason. AOMC has a new trouble ticketing system and NWS network security won't allow a new website to show the TT data.

call your congressman then. It's not being done to keep people in the dark. It's based on boneheads that are out of touch with current IT reality that think it can't be done safely.
And the new TT system is so convoluted you'd never be able to figure out what is going on anyway.

And the new TT system is so convoluted you'd never be able to figure out what is going on anyway. And how do you know this shotgun285? You sound like FAA - just as arrogant and stupid anyway. You can't convince me that IT folks in the govt can't figure out how to secure a website... The only reason for shutting this info away from the public and all the user groups is to try to hide what unreliable inaccurate junk ASLOP really is. Don't insult our intelligence by claiming we can't figuring out the trouble ticket system. I'll save my gripe to Congress capital for the privatization issue - AOMC blinders just adds fuel and ammo to our argument that the FAA mgmt is too large and too hidebound, greedy, arrogant, and stubborn to be effective. Once we're as secure as we can be, I'll take this up with Congress. Sorry for the disrespect shotgun, but as a wise man once told me, "You get what you give." There are a lot of very intelligent, highly qualified people in the CWO - they have to be to get passed the METAR test, which the FAA had to dumb down to get the ATCs passed in the LAWRS. Don't diss us. |

Someone had the idea that the AOMC website should be secure, but the transition cost was too high (minimally funded website anyway), so someone else figured that "if we can't secure it cheaply, then let's eliminate it as an cost-savings feature. Now, NWS Techs must call AOMC about outages, instead of checking on-line. AOMC Techs have to explain everything verbally (instead of a simple TT)...Pain in the A$$ to NWS and AOMC Techs.
Bottom line...ending the website was a dumb cost-cutting measure. Folks, it's probably gone for good unless NWS & AOMC Techs demand the return of a system that worked! Not gonna' happen.
