Default SWA IT wins!

Guess sometimes having a commodore 64 as your mainframe is the right choice...

Southwest Airlines today announced that do to management's incredible foresight in using the 32 year old windows 3.1 operating system they have maintained normal operations through the worldwide IT meltdown. In recognition of the outstanding leadership through this crises bonuses will be awarded to the top 5 managers at SWA. In addition the CEO will be awarded 1 million additional stock options on top of his 34 million dollar IT bonus. A SW spokesman said we simply can't do enough for the team that provided such outstanding guidance through this IT crises. They also announced they have put on hold plans to upgrade to windows 3.2. Windows 3.1 is working great for us and we're not changing anything!

Brilliant! The only thing missing is the promotion of more VPs.

Yes! I loved Solo Flight. Glad that you guys didn't have to deal with yesterday's misery.

A airline that suffered 7 hull losses in its two incarnations out of a fleet of around 50 aircraft was not going to be around long regardless of IT.
