FAA: We're A-OK for Jan. 1, Y2K

Supposedly, the Federal Aviation Administration now is
Y2K-compliant, although its self-imposed deadline passed
yesterday with no fanfare.

The agency told Reuters that it believes fixes for air-traffic and
other computer systems are complete, but it awaits confirmation
from Science Applications International, its contractor, and the
Department of Transportation's Inspector General.

The airline industry, meanwhile, is so Y2K-confident that it
launched a promised campaign to assure the public that everything
will be normal when computer calendars strike "00" on Jan. 1.

U.S. and Canadian airlines are 95 percent of the way toward
having so-called "mission-critical" systems capable of recognizing
what century it is, the Aviation Millennium Project said yesterday.

And no, food still is not regarded as mission-critical.
