Air Canada has pretty awful IT (they are moving toward Amadeus but believe their old system, RESIII, was based on BA code from the 60s) and have these outages a couple of times a year. Shouldn't happen with the technology at their disposal. Question if seeing IT only as a cost center and assigning the least ressources possible to it.
