Every flight East of the Rockies grounded because of computer problem in calculating airplane weight and balance.

Anybody heard of back-up systems?? This is the last thing financially strapped Delta needs right now. Anyway, I thought it was interesting.

Man you'd think they have the same sofware on a diffrent server, and when one fails the other one comes in and take over.

well because they are financially strapped the bigwigs probably didn't consider it an issue to buy back-ups...and you are making a huge assumption that they didn't have a back-up that failed also...that does happen ya know.
