From the amount of open time today (and lack of awarded trips) for ATLM88B it would appear the scheduler just threw their computer out the window and walked off the job.

ATL meltdown
Last night in ATL was absolutely embarrassing for Delta.
Passengers all over the terminal, planes with no pilots or flight attendants, pilots and flight attendants with no plane....Impossible to get through to crew tracking or accommodations. I finally left @ 2 A.M. airport jammed with pax...
What a nightmare..........

Atlanta had another patented meltdown last night. Guys were timming out left and right, 4+ hour holds to speak to anyone in crew ops support, dozens of pilots sleeping in the lounge because the couldn't get a hotel or get through to accommodations. Good times!

Any diversion at the end of an 8+ block day leaves you and your pax dead in the water. Timed out recently at JFK taxing out. They planned 18 mins of taxi during the afternoon int push. Took 6 hours to find another crew.
