140 flights canceled so far by Alaska Airlines computer crash

Where's the redundancy? Why is everything on one system?

Aside from the Alaskan airports (and maybe Hawaiian), their partners American and Delta are at all those airports. How many fliers got moved over to them, instead of just cascading delays and headaches through the rest of the system.

Again, from the article: "He said his flight was supposed to leave at 8:50 a.m. but still had not boarded by 11 a.m." He was probably suppose to catch a connection in Chicago or Atlanta, but he won't now. So when he gets there, now it's American/Delta's problem...

That said, when I go to Seattle, I tend to fly Alaskan. Although I don't like the Delta and American legs, the Alaskan legs are pretty good.

I fly Southwest everywhere else I go.
