Imagine though, the system trying to send out flight cancellation and rebooking emails to all these passengers - passengers not getting them and being completely in the dark about what to do and where to go because email was out on the same day as a nationwide ground stop…
That… lol, is true and probably happened to some extent.
But yeah those would be the airline’s email servers/systems, which fucking hopefullly are not directly, fully two way integrated into the goddamn ATC systems.
I have to say hopefully at this point because … that would be insanely stupid to do… but we also have insanely stupid idiots running seemingly everything these days.
You’d think it would just be the airline servers/systems just basically get a read only kind of notifcation from the airport sending out somekind of info update, and then the airline systems do their own thing…

But they’re always making better idiots.
