Why does FAA need to impose a ground stop? Couldn’t the airline decide for itself that it’s not going to have its own planes take off?

  This implies the outage was affecting their Pilot's ability to get accurate weight/balance data.

  It's probably easier to allow the FAA to propagate the message than for SWAs systems (that seemed to be failing) to try and do so.
