For those curious, Eurocontrol MUAC (Maastricht Upper Area Control Center) migrated to 50 virtual SUSE Linux Enterprise servers running under IBM z/VM hypervisor on a IBM z196 mainframe system in 2013.
Does any of this effect the nature of the failure? Have they said what went wrong?
/Manufactured in Fishkill, New York. Color me surprised.
In situations like this I’m glad I book my flights with Chase Sapphire Reserve. It comes with a trip delay reimbursement for up to $500 per ticket if a flight is delayed more than 6 hours. No sweat!
...for a $450 annual fee. If you plan to get kicked off a flight more than once a year, perhaps it's worth it.
Earlier quoted context omitted.
I'm glad I live in the EU in such circumstances: EU regulation 261 [1] covers so much, with €250 to €600 compensation depending on flight distance for delays over 4 hours, with a percentage of full compensation for shorter delays. No specific credit card required. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flight_Compensation_Regulation...
Doesn't the end of this article state that that may not be in effect for extrodinary circumstances out of the airlines' control?

I also get a $300 travel credit a year.
Just like there are no bugs without security impact, is it real to say that this has no impact on flight security? Any error can be a contributing factor.

I kind of doubt that matte_black's gamble (because that's what "insurance" is for costs which you could easily carry yourself if need be, unlike e.g. medical costs) would include that either. Then again, I'm surprised how many "insurances" cover things under your control (like dropping a device) so I might be wrong.
I’d rather deal with a credit card company than a government anyway.
