Let's be real, it's fun to poke IBM and delta will always suck of course, but this was a hack, and when it turns out it was the ChiComms or Russians testing what they could do,M technically even though it's a private company it is an act of war

That I don't know. I know HP runs the data centers for United and American, IBM built Sabre, the labor rostering at United was done by Accenture, but that's all I know

So certain it's a hack, eh? Monday morning quarterbacking at its best. I'll get my popcorn now.

One of the reasons I want to transition from industry to consulting (tier 1) is that I get frustrated when I have to collaborate with mediocre people. My assumption is that Tier 1 consulting firms hire really sharp people and if I can get in, I’ll be collaborating with folks on top of their game (not expecting much from clients). I’m aware there are personal aspects I need to work on like my mindset, patience etc etc, but I just get so frustrated with blatant stupidity.
