Weird, Delta and I think American ran into this issue each over the last couple of months. Crazy how archaic the heavily regulated computer systems are in the airline industry. I would imagine it is years of stop gap patches that addressed small issues a the time now in conflict.Was a story on NPR about this recently and they claimed part of it was layering different systems on top of each other after large mergers (e.g United and Continental) and the underlying systems just can't handle it.
Still better than flying in the northeast tomorrow... flights already being cancelled due to the nor'easter
