The FAA software that failed Wednesday causing thousands of flight delays and cancellations is 30 years old and at least six years away from being updated, a government source says.

The Notices to Air Missions database failure triggered the FAA to implement the first nationwide stop of air traffic in more than 20 years. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg has held multiple meetings with top FAA officials since Wednesday’s meltdown and “has made it very clear” he wants the NOTAM database updated much faster than the FAA’s planned timeline, the source tells CNN. “The core operating system for the database has been around since the 1990s,” the source said.

” CNN has reached out to the FAA for comment on updates to the NOTAM system to date and its modernization timeline. Late Wednesday, the FAA continued to downplay the possibility of a cyberattack as the root cause of the system failure. Instead, It pointed to a damaged database file. The FAA says it is “working diligently to further pinpoint the causes” to avoid a repeat.

Booty doesn’t have a clue. I’ve offered to created a fault tolerant, distributed cloud solution for free.

Maybe Buttgiggles can fine them the way he talks about fining SouthWest.

So, it works 30 years reliable? Not so bad at all, isn't it?
