| Hello Tom and Mike,
Another example of sloppy journalism. Airlines request a ground stop to recover from self-inflicted foibles. Fastest way to get the word out to everyone.
All the best, Amar

Good question. Maybe "Advised" rather than "sought". No way is it necessary to get FAA approval. Air Traffic might appreciate it for their own planning.

Alaska had to apply to FAA to not fly? Per below:
"According to an FAA advisory, the airline sought approval to ground over 200 planes under its brand. It later expanded the stoppage to include planes from its Horizon Air unit. Alaska Airlines said the decision stemmed from a computer network outage. While the ground stop was lifted about three hours later, around 11pm Pacific, Alaska said that “residual impacts” to its operations would be felt, adding, “It will take some time to get our overall operations back to normal.” As NBC News noted, the disruption comes almost exactly a year after a faulty CrowdStrike update caused chaos for airlines."
