This is how my 9-11-2006 started. I pray yours has gone better.<\/p>\n
The CEO and analyst of this company called me personally with the answer to my experience. It was not a cruel hoax. It was not a software glitch. It was not even user error! The inaccurate data came directly from the FAA itself. They pulled the raw feed and found the exact results that I experienced online.<\/p>\n
They apologized profusely and thanked me for being an unaware quality control test subject. (Insert polite, uncomfortable laughs here.)<\/p>\n
The most shocking part for me was learning that this website which pulls its data directly from the FAA provides intelligence to the CIA, FBI, FEMA and countless other government bureaus with regards to national security.<\/p>\n
THE FEDERAL AVIATION ADMINISTRATION PUTS OUT INACCURATE FLIGHT TRACKING DATA. I\u00e2\u20ac\u2122m moving to Canada.<\/p>\n

\nXXXX Company
\nDear Mr. Bxxxx,<\/p>\n
My name is Jennifer Sissons, Director, Office of the CEO. I have been a long time XXX.com fan as I use your flight tracking online tool almost daily to track my executive\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s air travel. However, today I am no longer a fan.<\/p>\n
My CEO Mr. Bxxxx took off this morning from Boston on his way to San Francisco. Being 9-11, I took extra care to watch his flight until it made it safely past NY. Around 10:30am, I checked again to make sure it was safely past Chicago. To my surprise, the site showed the plane heading back toward Boston and had dropped altitude from 36,000 feet to 24,000 feet. For the next hour I watched the plane’s erratic behavior turn south and then back to east with each refresh of the page showing his air speed and altitude dropping. The next refresh showed his plane due east at 10,800 feet with a land speed of 251mph. My travel agent and United assured me that his plane was still on the expected flight path with an on time arrival, yet it was still hard to resist what I was seeing, especially given the anniversary date. The final refresh showed his plane safely over Nebraska at 36,000 feet with a comfortable speed of 506 land miles per hour.<\/p>\n
I’m not sure what the problem was. I don’t know if it is a software problem or a cruel hoax from someone with a warped sense of humor, but either way your service is no longer trust worthy and I will no longer be using it.<\/p>\n
Best regards,<\/p>\n
Jennifer<\/p>\n
