+1 on that too...however it could be worse. Check out the self-inflicted pain JetBlue is planning for this weekend. From noon on Friday until "Saturday afternoon":
--No new bookings or changes at the website nor at the 800 number
--Changes or new bookings can only be made at the airport ticket counter
--No online check-in
--No flight information available
--No FF information available

And to top it off they are doing this during winter, and already they have a "winter weather advisory" for Saturday on the eastern seaboard. They're encouraging people to move their Saturday travel up to Thursday or Friday...but changes must be made before 12:00pm Friday, of course, because the system goes down.
Hopefully there's nothing anywhere near this in store for when Midwest and Frontier move to a consolidated res platform.
