United calls for nationwide ground stop

United's turn. I really believe we are becoming way too dependent on the technology side of the network systems.
Although a short time of approx 1 1/2 hours, I am sure it had a major impact to the entire system, but, it should only take half day or so to get beck to normal.

It wasn't nearly as bad as it sounded.

There were no systems down. This was a problem with Windows PCs that unfortunately affected workstations used at the airports and dispatchers.

Agents and clerks were able to use mobile devices, but dispatchers weren't.

Well, good for United. They did try to make sound worse than it turned out to be, click bait from the media whores I guess. Still thinking the reliability on tech and electronics will hurt more in the future.
