Since the company has in fact made multiple calls you are in fact illegal until you get 10 hours rest.

Think of the poor pilot who is out of phone range, had his phone off or was flying and looks at the phone and it says 7 Missed Calls from Delta.

I'd freak out.

Will the company do the right (and legal) thing and adjust tomorrow morning 's times appropriately due to its colossal error?

I don't think any Flights can legally depart tomorrow until 10 hours after these calls stop

Yeah, think of that poor lucky bastard. I'm so glad I know the bid window shifted...

Me, I can't believe how lucky I am. The kids can't sleep, and the missus is preoccupied with bidding windows anyway. This is great, just great.

Must be you FTB... It worked fine for me. Put my bid in (it's a one liner) in hopes it would stop.....

So far, so good...

I guess that would be all flights leaving before 0800?

Delta IT just shut the airline down until 8:15 tomorrow morning EST. Perhaps they will invest some money in IT.
