BuffaloBill Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 No, but my sister works for American... Your sister denies any relationship to you

Saxum Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 Next time Jay give us notice so we can claim the travel vouchers. Of course if they are like the American Airlines one I got for New Orleans game absolutely useless.
Marv's Neighbor Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I worked in United Operations for 35 years. Retired in 2003. I would bet that they are still using the same 60's Univac base now, that they had the whole time I was there. If that's true, you can only piece, patch and expand till it's just not totally reliable anymore. While it was a bad day for United, Delta, Southwest & American are in very similar situations. When I was there, we had certain "fallback" procedures that would allow operation during an outage. The people now have no idea what to do, or United does not trust them to do it reliably, so everyone sits and waits for the reboot, and what we see is the result.

It seems in recent years this same headline appears for one airline or another every few months.

Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I'm aware of what UNIVAC is. I'm just aghast it's still being used.
Pine Barrens Mafia Posted January 24, 2017 Posted January 24, 2017 I am *so* turned on right now... It's the punch-cards, isn't it Freak.
