The FAA is switching to the ICAO flight plan standard on June 29th. Cold turkey. No transition period. Will all hell break loose?

Probably.
A lot of things will be getting switched to ICAO standards in the next two years. If we want to adopt all their aviation trends and practices why don't we switch to the metric system. The country has been fighting that since when the 70s?
Thanks FAA, for picking the start of a very heavy travel time (summer) and right in my favorite time of year at work, Thunderstorm season, for such a change over, let the CHAOS Begin !
Nice Going !
