Does anyone know why LGA ATIS has been down for the past week or so? I call everyday like clockwork while I'm on the 7, or anytime I'm bored. (I call the ATIS guy my other boyfriend) <---before anyone tries to be a smart ass, I'm well aware that it's not a real person.
Anyway, like I said, it's just been a dead line for about a week. What gives?
Ron?! ;)
could have been disconnected, will try to find out more for you on friday when i'm back at work.
Matt....this has been going on for at least a week. I've tried several times and from Phil's phone, too. Did they change the number or something?
Looks like maybe they discontinued the "phone ATIS" service? Airnav used to have a number for the ATIS but it's no longer there.
Best you might get is the WX ASOS: 718-672-6317
If you find a number for the ATIS, be sure to share! Thanks Mel!
I've been stuck calling the JFK ATIS, which has been working. I don't like that guy though...he has too much to say, and talks much slower than LGA. ;)
Mel, the JFK guy is the same guy, I guess you don't know your other boyfriend very well ? I think they may have changed the number, will research tommorow at work.
Ron
Yes, the same guy, but he talks much slower! Thanks Ron. :)
Hey,Rose you're not calling ATIS your calling a Weather Observation or Aviation Weather service made for LGA. Without the ATIS planes could not take off from LGA.
I am calling ATIS, actually. I just think there is something wrong with the phone # I am calling. I am not claiming that ATIS is down, just the # I am calling.
The # is no longer published on the AirNav profile of LGA. Perhaps they turned it off for security reasons?
See, that's the only explanation I could think of, but why just LGA? JFK worked last time I checked...just a couple days ago.
The number on AirNav has been gone for nearly a year that I know of.
The data page on NYCA has the number though :-p

Oh the glorious days we spend discussing weather and conditions; him with a monotone drawl, and me laughing laughing laughing. Sometimes we even take a motor carriage up to the country where we picnic and debate issues of the day. I recently held the opinion that President Hoover was over stepping his bounds regarding new railway legislation, but not ole' ATIS, he thinks he's just dandy! Oh what gay days! Gay and happy and bright!!
……So bored at work :?

I just peed my pants...yes, right here in my office, at my desk.
You're hilarious - come back to NY...my OTHER boyfriend misses you. ;)
(and I don't think you've texted everyday like you're supposed to)
NEWS FLASH - NEWS FLASH - LGA ATIS Man is alive and well, just changed his phone number !
I have been told he is now taking calls at 718-478-6118.
Cheers
LGA777
I KNEW it!!!!
Haha...the stalking commences. He can't get away from me!
P.S. I'm listening from my desk at work...on my headset. Is there something wrong with me? :?
NOOOOOO Atis. I LOVED YOU.............
mel............you're a hussy.
God Mel can't a dude just take a break????? You woman always up our asses!!! LOLOLOL
Glad to hear everything's okay with him. And yes, Mel I've noticed it was down as well. I thought it was just my cell acting strange [as usual]. Good to hear he's doing well.
I've always dreamed of becoming the ATIS man one day...
