Was there any impact on the flights in air?
Several reported having to be diverted, and I think in one case a flight that left JFK had to return to JFK while over the midwest: https://www.flightaware.com/live/flight/ASA31
How does that work? What is it about a computer outage in your parent company that affects whether you're able to make an already-scheduled landing?
I was affected. Taking off now for a 5:30pm PT flight to Seattle. Aside from clearly not having an appropriate disaster readiness plan, communication was bad even though some information was readily available. For example, there was an inbound ground stop for KSEA for hours, but it was never announced to passengers.

- And probably a bunch more only people who work in that industry would think of

Can we really use the phrase "IT outage" as if it's an explaination in and of itself?

Which would just flow into the pockets of ClownStrike or some big consultancy and nothing would actually change.

Not stupid, just corrupt :)
If we did this, the money would get misappropriated or stolen - most likely completely legally through overpaid consulting fees.
So clearly we should pay someone to prevent that from happening.
Wait a minute...
