There is another more general (NOT ORD SPECIFIC) thread already started. The Apollo system is down at ORD, SEA,...everywhere.

Just got off the 906 from SFO...and as I was walking out of the airport to meet my ride, I overheard an announcement about hand-written boarding passes...
Was very glad I was on my way home.

Just got home....and it was indeed a mess. I guess there was a lot ot stand by passengers due some problems yesterday so that made things even worse. I was on standby for an IND flight due to a mis-connect earlier and they just announced for all standby pax to come to the gate and they just started marking on a piece of paper how many people got on.
