      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.

                  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.

                      Not at Delta.....

                      Because Delta doesn't fly 😉

                        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.

                                          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.
