Lived experience sits next to the community vote. Official sources never override either.
Seeing posts that everything already airborne got waved off and told to land now. The actual ground-stop language I've read is about departures, with inbound flights handled case by case. AP live updates: https://apnews.com/live/ground-stop-aviation-flights-news-updates-11-13-2026

The order is for departures. Planes already up are supposed to be allowed to land. That's a very different picture than an immediate wave-off of the whole sky.
People on flights that already landed are saying they can't even taxi to the gate, so the passenger experience is still a mess. That's not the same as being ordered down mid-route.
There were also reports that some transatlantic flights still got out of Boston and New York, which wouldn't line up with a complete freeze of everything in the system.
