The routing is as atrocious as the typo in the title of this thread.

Impossible. The iPhone would do a better job.

Why, oh why, didn't Delta keep all the NWA programmers and use nwa.com for the starting point of the new delta.com??

Shouldn't that question be directed to the NWA IT Vice Presdient who now runs Delta's IT shop? (Makes me wonder if NWA's IT was that much better. Hindsight makes this airline sound like it no flaws LOL!)

Not if you were trying to use it as an alarm clock this weekend.

The problems I noticed started about a week or two before New Year's Eve. Around then, I also saw some weird flight status results, such as Today November 16 on December 23. If it's a delayed Y2K reaction, then DL really doesn't know what time it is.

Hilarious post and sad too.. on DL's part.

But I have to say that a criticism takes a huge hit with basic grammar problems.

you're = you are - "Oh Delta... you are I.T. is just amusing now..." ????

your = possessed by you; IOW, belonging to you. "Oh Delta... your I.T. is just amusing now..." << much better.

That was a simple case of the Y2K bug, which is embedded in the iPhone source code. It shares a base platform with Deltamatic.

Yes, thank you for pointing out the use of the your/you're. I have a college degree, ironically in English and Mathematics education, but simple oversights do take away from a point.

Why would they? They had this for a base to build on…

Knock on wood...I haven't had any problems. Hope this doesn't jinx that.
