Any posting about it on reddit will get you instantly banned. Something happening they don't want us to know.
There's a huge thread on HN though: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=50489641 (481 comments currently)
A friend of mine, a pilot for AA, didn't like the new computer system being installed. He had a heart attack and was retired from AA and is now living in Texas. My Uncle was an engineer for Ozark/TWA before they got bought out; he fixed the planes when they had issues. He ran the old Boeing/McDonnel Douglas flight simulators before they used modern computers. I think, like Microsoft, shitty code and planning took down the airplane servers for navigation or something. With the old system, it would not have crashed the servers. This is the result of laying off the competent people and replacing them with AI.
