Delta=Doesn't Even Leave The Airport

To the family from UK if you are still stuck in LAX: See if you can get on a plane from LA to Boston (according to the board, no delay) and then from Boston to London Heathrow. The Delta flights (3 per day) from Boston to London Heathrow haven't been disrupted since Friday. I know this because my parents flew out from Boston to London on Sunday. I have been monitoring these flights like crazy to ensure no delay/cancellation.

Call the British Consulate immediately..

When cost cutting becomes the priority, there are no buffers for unanticipated crises. I did not think Delta was a low fare no frills airline. At least they didn’t used to be.

The issue is no longer CrowdStrike but airlines not able to handle the aftermath of CrowdStrike. It's the peak of the traveling season. Airlines oversell their tickets to max their profits so physically, there's not enough seats physically to fly those with cancellations from the weekend to their destinations.

Flew from CA to FL once via Delta. We were freezing mid-flight and asked for a blanket. Alas, they no longer offered blankets. We huddled closely for the remainder of the flight and made sure never to fly Delta again.

Dry run for a bigger event.

Stay tuned!

Flying Delta tomorrow. Hope we get home.

Living out of a bag is serious business.

When she says “their excuse” was that they couldn’t find “one more flight attendant, ” she gives herself away as somebody who doesn’t know how airlines and employee timeouts work. Airline employees are also delayed.

Sucks this passenger is stranded, but she doesn’t need to act indignant that flight attendants are also stranded/humans who don’t work around the clock

I liked the Delta App which told me when my bags were onboard the aircraft, a useful feature when travelling about in US.

They should be handing them ALL food and stay gift cards for immediate use!

Yo why don’t they just use the grey hound/ train at least some who live in US can get home before 5 days 🤣

[djtenzen]

It’s not Delta’s fault that this happened.

Humanity is reliant on digital jankery. End of story; no exceptions.

Will crowdstrike compensate to all those affected by their mistake?

[annabelle]

i noticed cnn isn’t reporting on this - thank God for local news channels

[TuxBearlux]

CrowdStrike and Delta are too big to fail 😮 💰💰💰CrowdStrike Stock pumping 💵💵💵

It’s better delay than going on a plane and something unexpected happens to the flight, I think. They have to have safety measures. Airlines are actually punished because of this massive outage.

Delta has a tendency of Delaying flights instead of cancelling them.
