I'm pretty sure that is "something bad... at their datacenter". Mainframes take a while to do a cold start/IPL...
Backup power supplies can work. We had batteries would run the mainframes (175, 3x730, 73) for 20 minutes, by which time the generators would have kicked in. The backups were tested regularly. |

Wonder if this will make DL rethink their interline with AA...
You can get away with ending an interline with an airline when there are four other majors to interline with. Not when there's only one. |

At the risk of making some light aviation related banter, this forum sure sounds like the "Client/Server design and continuity of operations" forum.. :)
On another note (and it is just hope) i am tentativeiy to be on DL130 to Munich this afternoon. We'll see how that goes.. |

If this kind of thing doesn't get DL to rethink interline and IRRROPs recovery invoking interlining, then not sure what it will take for DL to change its ways.

Pretty astounding for this to happen to a company of this size.
WN - 24B DL - 29B Even Amazon has not been immune to having issues (despite having put quite a bit of effort and thought into redundancy) -- https://aws.amazon.com/message/65648/ |
Posting mostly to follow the updates.
Have a domestic flight Wednesday night and then leave for vacation on Thursday. Assuming/hoping that the long-hauls are getting priority as things get back online and things will have settled down a bit by then... |

If I were flying DL to DAB today, I'd be SOL until ops restarted because the only other airline I can use to get there is...AA.

Today is putting the hurt on the cancellation and on time preformance. Delta the most on time airline if our computers work. No back up generator is the best punchline ever.

Well, WN is about DL's size, so not all that astounding --

This is just Karma biatch punishing Delta for its shady non-transparent award flight practices :D
