Global CrowdStrike IT outage impacting airports and more

[Saab34]

Virgin appears to be getting flights away.

Jetstar is in a world of pain here. Can’t seem to get anything away. Might be an idea to get group IT functions more on the same page.

My local watering hole remains functional.
If the world ends, I know where I can get a cold beer

Their POS system is probably ancient. Or a till with no blue lead plugged in.

Ahaha, encrypted windows machines need to be unencrypted to push CrowdStrike update.

I reckon that Crowdstrike is running on the Navitaire backend servers which will break any airline.

They do. It's all touchscreen. But on a Friday evening when the beer is cold, WGA

CrowdStrike is more enterprise level so unless you’re drinking in an Endeavour, Coles or Merivale establishment you’ll be set!

It’s interesting as Virgin is back moving and QF seems to be getting a push now.

But JQ are just dead. Only inbounds from DPS in the air!

$CRWD share price will be an interesting one to watch today, pre-open showing down 12.9% at the moment... Nasdaq opens in 4h 40min....

JQ not covering expenses for cancellations.

I think that's a bit mean. Considering other airlines are flying, I'm not sure it's black and white that it's an issue outside of the airlines control.

Jetstar just made announcement at Hobart Airport, in a single announcement they cancelled 7 flights. No hotel or meals will be provided or reimbursement offered as apparently this is out of their control.

They appear to be one of the worst impacted companies in Australia. Not really seeing anyone else completely dead, most have some functioning available, be it reduced.

Some questions for the JQ IT Teams here. It’s clear they are not aligned with the group as other parts are now operating.

This may well be resolved by the courts. In the meantime, I’m reminded of that old saying about how if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to fly.

Hoping, of course, that the travel insurance companies don’t find an excuse in the fine print to not pay up…

Entertaining listening in the car to ABC go pear shaped. ABC Southern Queensland working with a mobile phone and a CD player.

Do they have a copy of Walk in the Black Forest

I have never purchased domestic travel insurance and I never intend to.

I consider it junk insurance.

JQ Friday Fare Frenzy on now or should it be Friday Fail Frenzy?

Whilst the boarding passes aren’t printing (in Geneva) the planes are all taking off. Only one cancellation on the board noted for a two hour period.
