US consumers are about to get REAL familiar with the phrase "force majeure".
I wouldn't be at all surprised if Southwest Airlines was just the tip of the iceberg, in terms of airlines with dated hardware and/or software. These companies rarely learn from each others' mistakes.
Some airlines are moving to newer systems and software. Is it too late to avoid a disruption? Probably. But it’ll eventually right itself again.
