Cringley speculates like hell:

Delta Airlines last night suffered a major power outage at its data center in Atlanta that led to a systemwide shutdown of its computer network, stranding airliners and canceling flights all over the world. You already know that. What you may not know, however, is the likely role in the crisis of IT outsourcing and offshoring.

Do any Soylentils have inside/better information?

    I guarantee you Delta can afford to pay for it. Take a chunk out of the CEO's umbrella.

    Sorry - bad moderation... showed up as "spam", but intended as "insightful". Dunno why that happened... Admins?

      Hit End or Page Down while the moderation dropdown has focus and it goes to the bottom of the list, Spam. Taken care of.

        Maybe you could add another dashed line below "spam"? It should be a bit more difficult to accidentally pick :)
