We were released (3314 LGA - CMH). There was barely any ground traffic, just an AA flight in front of us. As we took off I saw at least 20 Delta planes sitting there not moving. Not sure why we were allowed to go, maybe because it's technically Shuttle America? Who knows, but happy to get out

It' s time the DOT start fining airlines and force them to pay EU-style compensation when things like this happen. You don' t see this as much with European airlines ( or anywhere else for that matter), and when it does happen with other airlines it doesn' t take them as long to get planes up in the air again ( unlike the Delta fiasco in August).

The airlines should run a Netflix Prize-type contest and offer $10 million to the team of computer scientists that delivers the best solution.

We have been sitting on the plane in PHX for more than 2 hours, pilot just said some systems are starting up, so he's hopeful we will take off tonight and still has not deplaned yet

Update from pilot: "We are one of the lucky ones, a gate opened and we'll take it."

So glad I dodged this. I flew DL earlier today SJU-ATL-DCA. I purposely picked an 8a departure to get back to DC early.
I was traveling to FRA the day of the August meltdown, so happy I didn't relive that experience.
Hopefully things get back up and running fast. Monday morning could be a mess if they can't get planes repositioned.
