At least it wasn't a ransomware attack like the Colonial pipeline suffered earlier this year, but I think this just shows that any industry is vulnerable to IT outages/attacks....

I’m sure with earnings next week they’re thrilled with this “hiccup”.

Actually that's not necessarily true, you just have to spend the money for security and redundancy. Airlines seem to prefer not to invest much in IT, and so we see a catastrophic failure take down somebody's flight schedule about once a year.

You don't see large banks having that scale of problem, or nuclear power plants. Fortunately our safety-of-flight systems seem to be immune so far.
