FAA: Don't be fooled by airlines' Y2K claims: Airlines Get Caught In A Lie ...06/24/99
 
(CNN) Next January, the year 2000 bug will get blamed for plenty of slowdowns and equipment failures, but some U.S. airlines are already blaming Y2K systems testing for flight delays. Don't believe it. "I have no idea why airlines would say that. It's completely false," said Paul Takemoto, a spokesman for the Federal Aviation Administration. "All of our [Y2K] systems testing was completed last March." Nonetheless, at least two airlines have told fliers that Y2K testing delayed their flights.
