I wonder if premium credit cards offer protection against trip delays like this?

I remember that major computer glitch they had a few years ago. You'd think they'd have this fixed by now.... I'm sure whatever DB and replication technology they're using, they're looking to ditch it at this point and go with something more robust.

When did they port mySQL to VAX/VMS?

They expect 100% uptime and probably haven't upgraded their systems. My guess is it's 16 bit hardware for a 2 bit airline.

Well, they better have this shit up and running by July 8th.
