Breaking: Major Delays on United After Computer Failure

June 20, 2007 at 2:57 PM | by | Comments (0)

Bad news for United Airlines fliers today: The airline experienced a system-wide computer breakdown that grounded all flights for two hours this morning and is still recovering from those delays. The airline responsible for 15 percent of domestic travel volume was having problems with the system that regulates the weight and balance of planes, according to a San Francisco airport official, without which flights could not depart -- and thus arriving flights had nowhere to park at major hubs like Chicago O'Hare.

We have been stuck in O'Hare at least once a year since approximately 1999--thanks United! Too bad you have to pay for WiFi, but there's always those delicious Wolfgang Puck sandwiches.
