As of 06:24 US Eastern the appears to no longer be true. There is a NOTAM outage but no full ground stop is mentioned, just a few specific due to weather.

Edit: obviously a developing situation, see responses to this comment for current advisories.



I don't know how these things work, but the most recent advisory, 027, seems to imply that United Airlines has a full ground stop until 15:00 UTC / 10:00 Eastern.

Edit: Of course as I was typing that, Advisory 028 pops up with a nationwide ground stop until 9:30 Eastern: "GROUND STOP ALL FLIGHTS / ALL DESTINATIONS EXCLUDES MILITARY AC AND MEDEVAC FLIGHTS"

- "All US domestic flights have been grounded for several hours because of a glitch with the flight control system."

Yep, the situation has changed since the post was made. Parent comment was correct at the time, however.

At 5:40am Eastern, the agent at my departure gate told us that there was a ground stop affecting all flights, which was reflected in my original title. This was not reflected in the NOTAM I posted, as was pointed out by several early commenters, and in fact my flight was able to board and depart around 7:00am Eastern before the ground stop took effect.
