American Airlines Grounds Flights

Posted by Soulskill on from the flights-shouldn't-have-failed-that-math-test dept.

Sez Zero writes "The Federal Aviation Administration said American Airlines requested a halt to hundreds of its U.S. flights on Tuesday as it works to resolve a reservation system problem. American Airlines explained on their Twitter feed they had a problem accessing their reservation system. Bad day to be on the AA ops team."

    Hey, if we're going to be making up random shit, it might as well be something cool.
