Again? Is this a new story?
Really? I just went to flightradar24.com and found several UAL flights.
This is current
I am sure that there are many flights currently in the air. I am stuck for the last hour and they are predicting up to 2 hours before we know anything. After 2 hours we will return to the gate and deplane
Ah, yes. I had the lasagna.
Networked computers used to run our lives are great, aren’t they. Always dependable. Always do exactly what one would think they would do. Just ask dispatchers, voters, bankers, medical records keepers, etc..
Just think, one of those planes might have been carrying very valuable or life saving perishable items...too bad...sorry...the computer is down....sorry...
Sorry to hear, the wife got caught in of those some months ago, had to spend the night at a hotel, etc. Here’s this:
“United Airlines is having a system outage that’s prompted it to hold departures. The airline has requested ground stops for UA flights at DEN, EWR, IAH, ORD and SFO currently. United expects additional delays this evening,” one person wrote on X, platform formerly known as Twitter.
“Stuck on the tarmac in New Orleans… no planes moving. No weight & balance data. Just vibes,” another one added.

At Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental Airport, a traveler claimed they had been waiting for over five hours. “No United planes are leaving the tarmac. This is crazy,” they wrote.
United Airlines addresses concerns
United Airlines acknowledged the system failure on social media and began responding to individual customer concerns.”
I hate flying so much now. It’s always been stressful but now there are many more genuine safety concerns.
Thank you for the clarification.
I looked and couldn’t find anything.
Well, UAL is the DEI airlines.
The Google News search/aggregator has a bunch of articles on it, all within the past hour or so.
Methinks they probably just installed CoPilot ...
Okay - well nothing on Drudge, Liberty Daily, Daily Mail, etc do not report anything about it. But I guess it’s real?
Well see, if you make it tough to be a system maintenance person, we won’t get diversity and all different kinds of people working on it....
DEI sounds like DIE
