Delta Meltdown Reflects Problems With Aging Technology
Keywords: Delta Airlines, Delta,
A power outage at its Atlanta headquarters leads to cancellation of 650 Delta flights on August 8, 2016, and disruptions to its airlines reservations system. Older technology that was not updated during the airline's lean years, a problem affecting most airlines, is seen as the cause of the problem. Airline experts say that after the merger with Northwest Airlines older systems of one airline were integrated with older systems of the parent airline. This disruption follows one at Southwest Airlines and shows the need for updating the obsolete technology. Delta's hard won reputation as one of the better airlines has suffered as a result.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
