Delta pushed my flight from 7:50 to 1 PM. The rep said no way will it take off before 1. Suddenly I get a message saying flight back at 7:50 at 7:10. I panic & call Delta & they said oops - error msg

My guess is that not investing in their IT/infrastructure is part of their profit strategy. Might be cheaper to compensate travelers than update their systems

BCG1, maybe. Hopefully they have numbers to back them up! In my experience, its never a good strategy for a company of that size/branding considering their Jan outage and yesterday's. Someone said 115 flights canceled yesterday alone. Deltas common carriers are 757 and MD88. They both carry 150 passengers. Even if I assume 100 average and $150 per passenger, thats $1.75m in ticketing revenue alone. They had 280 canceled flights in Jan and their 2000 cancellation in September cost them $150M (they said). All those can easily pay for a Hot-Hot HA combo. Plus I am not yet sure if this outage is Deltas systems or SITA. SITA is absolute crap (opinion thrown as fact 😉)

Our firm told everyone no bonuses this year due to the pandemic. However, people like myself with high utilization received a “bonus” in terms of a gift card. My director notified me of this, but the other day my boss was mentioning how no bonuses this year really sucks. I was told by the director to not mention it to anyone but I figured if anyone knew I got one it’d be my boss. I feel super uncomfortable now because do I essentially lie to my boss because I’m not supposed to talk about it.
