Just got this text from him...
“Possible terrorism... None of our applications function, including Aatms, ims, sales link...”
Govt cant let those white, Christian, gun owning, Tea Party members whom bombed the Boston Marathon get away to their tax haven countries of refuge! /sarc
Just got word from some employes flying out today. Looks like a computer glitch. http://m.kltv.com/autojuice?targetUrl=http%3a%2f%2fwww.kltv.com%2fstory%2f21993863%2ffaa-american-airlines-grounds-flights-nationwide
Where is the HQ?
Never attribute to malice that which is adequately explained by stupidity.....Robert Heinlein......
“He says that they are grounding all flights globally.”
As someone with more than 800K miles on American, I can assure you this will be the first passenger service improvement in more than a decade.
Goof up the reservation system to get around the watch list?
Wife’s southwest flight from florida just got delayed 1/2 hour but sounds routine thus far.
Time to get back to paper and pen.
Didn’t American just merge with Useless Air, formerly known as All Agony Airlines?
That explains it all.
I am literally the last person in my airport who knows how to board and dispatch an aircraft using PAPER.
Back in the day, computer failures were EXPECTED, and planned for. But, not today. I still don’t understand the logic in that.
Blame republicans and sequester in 10, 9, 8...
Air Canada had a similar problem last year. I spent a night sleeping on the floor in Toronto Pearson Airport. Not fun.
Maybe they figure that they’ll be safer on the ground from North Korean nukes. That’s the logic of leadership.
New text......
“Sabre Back up, so we should be able to resume flights shortly.... Other apps are still down though, but shouldn’t interfere with putting planes back in sky”
So if I have a planeload of people waiting to go someplace tell me again why I wouldn’t want to crank up the engines and take them? Can’t get lunch on board? Reservations are for the NEXT flight. We used to be able to fill up an airplane with people who walked in and actually bought a ticket. If the airline is so freeeeking bleeeped up that it can’t move a plane without a ground computer working maybe it’s time for them to just file chapt 11 and park it.?
All flights out of Kansas City are cancelled or delayed. Half the inbound flights are the same.
