Indeed. You'll find its typical that companies of Delta's size have data centers in very redundant places (think somewhere on the east coast then somewhere in the mountains out west)

Was supposed to go DCA-DTW-MCI today and decided to grab a ticket on AA as fast as I could once I found out. I personally found it very interesting that gate agents were still announcing delays for individual flights due to a "technical error" instead of making a blanket announcement- though several captains came out and got on the PA in the hold rooms telling folks it was a global incident that would impact all flights.

Ticket counter looked mobbed, and the local media was out in full force with all the major stations doing live shots at the ticket counters. Must be a slow news day in DC...

Wonder if this will make DL rethink their interline with AA...
