However, I think it's fair to ask whether DL had appropriate contingency plans in place, including rescheduling algorithms to move crew to where they could have the most positive effect on the network system. There should have been advanced planning for how something of this nature would be handled, but instead we get the impression that it's being done in a seat of the pants mode.
One part of the job is to avoid meltdowns but it's equally important to know how to recover optimally when a meltdown does happen.
