Youd be an idiot to think there are no Airbus pilots on this board.
Only an idiot (OP) would say that a report by an airline captain about widespread GPS failures at altitude was "BS."
And you are correct - there is at least one Airbus pilot on this board: Me. 15 years on A320 family. 33 years as an airline pilot. 15 years as a check airman.
So, do you have an explanation for multiple flights on the same frequency with GPS failures? It was almost comical that everyone checking in on the frequency would call their altitude and then say, "GPS are shut down." ATC was simply assigning headings. Our aircraft had ECAM messages ratcheting through the failures until it was determined that the GPS was causing it. We kept Class II through IRS and DME/DME updating.

“Me.”
Spoken like a narcissist. You really do write like one.
Just because a pilot experienced a GPS failure does not mean it was jamming by the Russians. How retarded to come to an unsubstantiated conclusion. Sad that an airline captain would do that. They should be better than that.
