Seems delta is having a system issue. Being told on their entire fleet of crj900 planes the computer won't accept the weight balance ratios so we can't take off. Nationwide they say. It's been over an hour with no update. Anyone else stuck?

A restart from head quarters seems to have solved it.

What DL Connection carrier? Or does the OP mean all of them, regardless of operator?

I thought each carrier handled their own. Thought DL only did actual DL flights.

Connection carriers do their own WDRs, so it'd be confusing to hear that every Connection carrier had the same problems unless the problem was with the manufacturer.

In response to the carrier, it was DBA I was on. I don't have the full story but all the captain said was that "fleet wide" all the CRJ-900's were rejecting the load distribution numbers. It took them 2 hours to get "HQ" to reset the flight computers and it fixed the problem. Odd, seems like a manufacture issue as the flight computer should be standard across the carries? IDK it is not my expertise.

I could be wrong, but, I think all Delta connection carriers advertise as, something like . . .

Endeavor Air DBA Delta Connection

SkyWest DBA Delta Connection

Etc

Etc

That's my impression too, which is why I'm asking the question.

DBA = doing business as

Exactly my point!

During the UA/CO merger, there were lots of jokes about UAdbaCO versus COdbaUA.

Maybe the new definition would be

DBA = dragging buyers away.

Looking at some random flights from yesterday, my guess would be Endeavor.

I was stuck on one of them yesterday - CVG to EWR. This update impacted all CRJ900 fleet operated by Endeavor Air. Issue was resolved within 30 min but our misfortune was the fact that our cabin crew was missing for longer.

Delayed almost 2 hrs.

Yikes. I flew them a couple days ago and one flight had many problems: FC meals not properly loaded, no water in lavatory, no water for tea/coffee, no blankets, no pillows, etc., although the aircraft looked nice and new and clean. IME Endeavor is generally good.

It's probably irrelevant, but I also noticed that flight status seemed to be messed up for this flight as the inbound (with the same number) apparently initially posted a delay well in advance, but the return flight from the outstation was posted as on time. This would have required some form of time travel as the aircraft was supposed to arrive about an hour after we left. [Shortly before flight time, the computer corrected itself and both flights were on time.]

I now feel a little silly for not realizing all these years that DBA - doing business as. I forgot the name after DBA so I just reported that.. Now I know!
