Delta IT strikes again
Attention Delta Pilots,
Please be advised that the Cockpit Access Security System (CASS) and Known Crew Member (KCM) systems are inoperative, due to Delta internal server issues. In addition, the Delta VRU line is also inoperative, and the Chief Pilot Support Center is also unable to book the jump seat.
We are following this issue closely, have been informed that the system should be up shortly, and will keep you informed of any further developments.

I have no doubt that they did a great job of putting the crippled plane safely on the deck, but when you read this part of the story:
You have to wonder if they pushed their luck a little too far and maybe should have called for a tug like we do in the simulator...they were already Gold Medal winnners for landing safely (Yes, I'm a Hall of Fame Monday Morning Quarterback)
The airline confirmed a hydraulic problem prompted the crew to divert to JFK Airport due to the longer runways available. While taxiing to the gate the aircraft exited a taxiway

The article said that they lost all of the hydraulic fluid. I think accumulators just provide the pressure but still need fluid in the system to work. You would think something like the brakes would have a separate accumulator powered system for just such an occasion. Hopefully a Mad-Dog Pilot will enlighten us.
