Large-scale cancellations are expected today. All flights en route are operating normally. We are aware that flight status systems, including airport screens, are incorrectly showing flights on time. We apologize to customers who are affected by this issue, and our teams are working to resolve the problem as quickly as possible. Updates will be available on news.delta.com.&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.delta.com&amp;#x2F;more-flights-resume-delays-cancels-continue-after-power-outage&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;http:&amp;#x2F;&amp;#x2F;news.delta.com&amp;#x2F;more-flights-resume-delays-cancels-con...&lt;/a&gt;</text><parent_chain><item><author>mrweasel</author><text>The most annoying part of bugs like this, is that we rarely get a good post-mortem.

There have been several huge outages in UK banking over the past few years and management have a convenient excuse in blaming &amp;quot;legacy systems&amp;quot;.  While I respect private enterprise, for systems of systemic importance I would like to see some legislation to implement a mandatory and detailed post mortem like you propose.</text><parent_chain><item><author>mrweasel</author><text>The most annoying part of bugs like this, is that we rarely get a good post-mortem.
