New York Sen. Charles E. Schumer says the Federal Aviation Administration needs more resources to prevent problems like the computer glitch that's causing cancellations and flight delays nationwide.

The Democrat says in a statement that the previous FAA's neglect and poor management has left the current FAA and the public with an aviation system "in shambles."

He says without more resources, glitches that cause delays and chaos across the country will happen more regularly.

The FAA says the glitch has been fixed but it's unclear how much longer flights might be affected.
