Frustrating experience as I wasn't able to rebook for a while as despite the stop and cancelation of the inbound until 10 minutes after our scheduled departure. Inbound had been canceled for 90 minutes by that point. When will AA get it's IT in order?
There's definitely a huge problem with Piedmont today, while the rest of the AA operation runs like clockwork -- as it has been doing for several weeks now. As we all know, bad stuff sometimes happens in the complicated world of commercial aviation. Why do you think it's an "IT mistake" by AA? You say you were told it's a "fiber cut." I'm guessing AA didn't cut that fiber?
