From the description this doesn't sound like it will be fixed right away for most systems, any idea what kind of impact this will have? I would hope for anything crucial there would be fail-safes
Pretty sure the US Airline industries requrested that all flights, Globally be grounded due to this failure. Major airlines were already running on the ragged edge of collapse with antiquated systems that could barely function on good days. So, as one says; Lol. Lmao.
US airlines (minus Southwest) still use SABRE for reservation and flight management. A system developed for DARPA in the 50s. Basically everything is run in virtual machines I believe, but there are probably still some SABRE terminals out there.
Getting that system back up and running will be a nightmare as it's integrated into basically every reservation service on the planet. That's probably why they want all flights grounded because anything that happens while the system is down will have to be added manually later.
