Newark airport saw another radar outage on Monday, as well as dozens of flight cancellations and delays. The FAA is reportedly considering a broad pullback in flights to and from the airport

If you're flying for vacation, a veteran air traffic controller is urging you to avoid this one major U.S. airport.
