I’m flying from Charlotte NC to Boston MA. The captain just said DC airspace is shutdown and the excuse was covid cleaning. Some shit may be going down. Stay safe pedes

Well, it could be that they are cleaning the ATC center, and controllers aren’t available because of that. As former ATC I don’t buy it though... Washington DC. Center is pretty big... it covers Maryland, eastern Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Delaware, New Jersey, Virginia, and North Carolina, so if they were to shut down airspace I’d think it would be a lower traffic area in there then Washington DC... (unless all they have are single sector flunkies as controllers, or they changed things and can’t reconfigure the radar consoles anymore)
