My neighbor called at 0315 hours in a panic. Said her daughter was coming to visit and "all flights are grounded!". She's the retired widowed gal living on next farm over from me and spends lots of time visiting me. Anyway, I got on computer and figured out that SouthWest has big problems. Their story is "network connection difficulties". But, I'm thinking this is a takedown of them, and bits and pieces will be released over next few days. My conspiracy and chicanery antenna is up!

My brother got delayed out of Texas, missed his connecting flight, got stuck for hours waiting for another flight when all of this happened. Will be interesting to know what really happened.
Unfortunately a down computer system does in fact stop the airline from functioning. Too many moving parts of the airline depend on it, from dispatch to flight following to weight and balance.
Based on what?
