You need to have a confirmed test to be counted, everyone can see that test supplies are EXTREMELY limited. 26 million is not a crazy number.

Estimates are surprisingly accurate if you have a statistically significant sample.

Well, at risk of re-opening this thread that became a political diatribe... have unexpected ATC Zero incidents been much of a problem for airline flights or have you able to pretty much keep on truckin’? Asking for a friend in DoD.

Maybe it's a good time to review IFR no radio communication procedures?

Seems like it's only a matter of time before multiple sectors shut down on the same day.

There’s protocol for no radar, what if there’s no one in the other end to hear your position reports? Is that covered in the AIM?

also no random rnav without radar... etc etc. FAA has no good answer so far. Just wondering if the airlines have come up with an SOP since they stand to lose the most $$ when a sector jams up.
