A failure with Delta’s systems has grounded Delta flights.
So if you are flying Delta, you may be currently #FKD.
Around 6 p.m. Sunday, social media lit up with word of long lines and delays at Delta terminals. A Federal Aviation Administration advisory stated Delta flights were grounded due to “automation issues.”
There isn’t much news yet and the story is still young, but I’ll let you know as I hear more.
Here are some tweets on the issue:

Looks like Alton Brown’s team is #FKD too:
Hey @delta, you need to talk to us. Lots of us traveling on your airline right now.

Both passengers and Delta seem confused:

Update from my @Delta pilot: No one knows how long nation-wide system outage will take to fix. IT working on it now. No flights departing.

@DaughertyMJ Delta is expeditiously working to fix a systems outage that has resulted in departure delays for flights on the ground…. 1/3

Me: Quickly trying to figure out if we’re flying on Delta anytime soon.
What a trashy, low class title. Right in line with “journalism” today.
