Vanity - sitting on the tarmac on a USAirways flight from Houston. Pilot announced a "system-wide hard shut down." Anyone know what's up?

Obama just bailed out the airline industry so it went out of business?

Probably weather related. Haven’t seen any breaking information otherwise.

Wish my brother was still an ATC in the Dallas Center, he might know something. But he’s in Alaska now.

Don't know what it means in your case, but something similar happened to USAir in 2007. Computer related.

Some nimrod in coach was using a wireless connection to ask a question and it fried the avionics.

Is that a shutdown of systems on the aircraft or a shutdown of flight operations exterior to your aircraft?

Just checked the FAA website, says 15 minutes or less delay. Longer delay (16 to 30 minutes delay) at SFO.

Otherwise, green lights across the board.
