Delta Airliens hit with major computer outage. @Minion-Queen Your favorite airline's having issues today. My Dad's currently stuck in Atlanta trying to get home:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2016/08/08/passengers-stranded-after-all-delta-flights-grounded/88385034/I was just talking to someone stuck in Atlanta about this. They could have rented a car and driven the rest of the way in the amount of time they had been waiting.
I just drove from NY to Texas. I did it faster than Delta could get people there.

Am I the only one who is disappointed that the aeroplanes operated by Delta Airlines don't have delta wings?
(Technically do because Delta own the wings on the plane but I meant delta wings like a Vulcan bomber, a Mirage or the Concord)That's next on their list after they buy that much needed UPS.

I wonder how many IT people that work for airlines actually fly on those airlines...

And after replacing their systems with something newer then Windows 3.1.

For those unaware: I don't know that @Minion-Queen has seen the systems airlines use, it's just really very obvious after the news story.

I have seen what the flight attendants use at the gates. Let's just say it is not a even slightly up to date system.

You don't tend to notice things when you are on a lot of meth.

There has to be an awesome People of Walmart meme for this.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-37026007Really? They can't even rent a generator? #fail

Single point of failure with the switchgear, surprised there wasn't a backup. Usually they have devices that monitor this kind of thing and automatically switch over.

Can't? No, they can. Won't? No, because they don't care.

Im sure that generator would cost less than the predicted millions that it will cost delta because of this.
