Right. Everything fails simultaneously. Gimme a break. They got hacked.
Uh, Boss, I strongly recommend that we invest in an Uninterrupted Power Supply and a Large backup Generator for our Delta Data Center. "Johnie, get out of my office, That could cost $100,000 or more. Stop bothering me with these silly ideas."
Southwest has a similar problem a few weeks ago and now Delta. Is it 'black helicopter' to be suspicious?
