This is going to suck for 2-3 days at least for people in the wrong cities, IMHO. (ie crew are timed out, they don't have planes in the right place, no one KNOWS where the planes are, crews aren't moving between cities... this is going to suck. So be nice to your fellow travelers).
@ai6yr yeah, I really hope I can get home (BOS → SFO) on Sunday 🤞
@ai6yr
Have you figured out what really happened, yet?
@amyedge Mr. Duffy wants $50 billion dollars in small bills in a paper bag?
Deployed AI, didn't have bandwidth for the data, crashed the whole system, blame "legacy system" and demand more money to upgrade the bandwidth for the AI system.
@ai6yr
I guess that makes as much sense as my rat chewed the one critical cable theory.
@ai6yr People I know were ON their flight home when this started. They all left their plane and went back into the airport. They have been rescheduled for Sunday (at this time).
@alwaysthedogmom Whew, that's better to be stuck at home than in a strange airport lounge in the middle of nowhere.
@ai6yr They aren't home yet, they were able to get a hotel tho.
I worded my post oddly 😕 I blame early wakeups from the doggo for my sleepiness.
@ai6yr
In addition, there's a considerable amount of goods transported by air freight - some with critical delivery times like spare parts, electronics and live animals. Air Freight times will be fukt for days or weeks.
@ai6yr I refuse to leave the house. Just doing my part for the country etc.
