Computer system outage
quote:

The airline said Monday on its official Twitter account that all flights are grounded because of a global computer system outage. "Our systems are down everywhere," it tweeted in response to disgruntled customers. "Hopefully it won't be much longer."


As of 8:25 am, some flights are beginning to now take place. Many delays and cancellations will take place today.

You do know how crew duty time works, right?

size of the mess depends on how many started their clocks for the day

and you know about how connections and such work, right?

are you aware there are flight crews that haven't started clocks for the day?

my delta platinum status suggest that I do.


this isn't the first time an airlines has grounded flights. won't be the last.

this could end up being a big deal or it could straighten itself out by lunch.

I guess this is the .0001% downtime Stratus is so proud of with their hardware-redundant servers...

Why do people post obscure shite like this in question form? Why would 99% of the population know how crew duty time works? Just comes off as trying to brag about some obscure nonsense. It'd be like if an astronaut was posting in a space thread and said, "You do know how orbital mechanics work right?" No motherfricker, why the hell would I know that shite.

Didn't Southwest ground all flights a couple weeks ago for a computer 'glitch'?
