My daughter will be returning to her home in NC with AA later after her work meeting in Dallas. Will send her a message as she will still be asleep at the moment inher hotel and may need to reserve the room for another day as its on the DFW site and they are a main AA hub as is her home airport.
AA flights grounded
Can we blame Trump, Farage or Le Pen yet?
Asking for a friend, obviously.
On a serious note, this is what happens when you outsource cybersecurity or leave it to junior IT team members.

I’m hoping that the ferries are more isolated from this - though it could affect port navigation & traffic management systems.
BF as still saying my sailing tomorrow is “on time” but there is a disclaimer about disruption.
Can you spell “single point of failure”? An expensive lesson unfortunately.

Local airport has had flights in this morning (not a busy place) and the Ryanair Stansted has just gone over the house but looking at their departures board on flightradar it gives estimated for most and delayed for others. Expect it will right itself by end of the day, it usually does. Kim,Vlad or Xi been naughty again??
another view… with perhaps some more info (?)

Or you could be even smugger by not using tech at all - then you won’t be impacted…
Microsoft had Azure issues that caused major problems. Crowdstrike is not a Microsoft issue, it just causes windows operating systems to fail if you use crowdstrike software to protect it 
American Airlines have just reported that their systems are now up and running again. Could very well still be big delays though due to the backlog.
Crowdstrike should have identified itself as a security risk and refused the update 
Seriously though - I wonder if the company will survive the inevitable law suits.
You would have expected them to test it properly, todays software development is often done in the third world for pennies.
