Exactly! There wasn't any real fallout for Southwest, who had a shutdown less than a month ago, for similar outdated technology reasons.

Maybe even more pertinent is that they had a similar one in 2016 (smaller scale, but similar cause/effect) and then didn't fix anything, so it could happen again recently.

There's running lean and then there is running recklessly.
