Reservations System Down - Again

This is becoming a regular event. I hope NW hasn't outsourced their computer operations to India.

LOL!!! I will ask my Wipro and TCS consultants if they know of any such engagements... I was using the Reservation system myself this morning to look up R class availability on some upcoming flights that I have, and I received an error message about three times that stated that the reservation system engine was still working on my previous search request, or something like that.

Hmm...

My son, a computer engineer, worked for Sapient, a computer consulting firm. When Sapient moved to outsource much of their work to India, his responsibility was to correct the mistakes which were being made there on a regular basis. After a while, his job was terminated, no doubt outsourced to India as well.

I just figured everyone was clamoring (like me) to find the $399 SFO-HKG MR.

I was at the point of confirming a great LGA-LAX MR when the system went down.

Was it coded as one of the summer sale fares?

I was hoping to book a fare today and take care of some other business. Hope they fix it soon.

Or diverted too much manpower to the important Spinzel cut issues.
