Where were the backup generators? Do they even have them?

The problem started early Monday morning in Atlanta, Delta's world-wide
headquarters. I imagine that most SHARE attendees had blown town by then. It's
been widely reported as a 'power failure', but there's a public squabble over
whether the glitch occurred within Georgia Power's grid or within Delta's own
internal power distribution network. As Ed says, the truth will eventually come
out.
It's reported that the problem was exacerbated by Delta's recent pullback from
inter-airline mutual bailout agreements. This reduced Delta's ability to rebook
passengers on other carriers. The most public retrenchment involved American
Airlines, whom Delta accused of benefitting from the agreement far more than
Delta did. The message: Delta is so good that AA was more of a millstone than
an ally. Maybe good, but not perfect.
I fly Southwest, which had its own computer problems a couple of weeks earlier.
SHARE managed to find a sweet spot in between the two airline FUBARs. Even
Obama's Monday visit to Atlanta--literally across the street from the
Marriott--seemed to have minimal impact on the conference.

Right. The news has been slow dribbling out. My nephew is a sysprog in
Atlanta(not for Delta) but several of the neighbors are. We'll get the scoop
eventually.
