So who else is stuck right now…
 
Well I didn’t make it out and furthermore the computers are so messed up they can’t cancel the flight to rebook passengers so it just updates into a new departure time. Can’t get people hotels either. Everyone, even crew, just told to figure it out on your own. Wow. Never seen anything like it
 
Heard from a co-worker that family member who's a banker is having issues there.

edit: google saying banks affected too
 
It was caused by a 3rd party cyber security firm (CrowdStrike) who forgot to properly test their patches before deploying an update to a Microsoft system. That is one expensive screw up. LAS is ground-stopped also but it seems SWA might be the only airline moving since they don't use that software. Lesson learned.
