"Thousands of Virgin Blue passengers faced delays at airports around the country after the airline’s reservations and baggage system crashed this afternoon.

Angry passengers fired heated messages through social networking site Twitter about a failure of the check-in and boarding systems and the lack of communication from the airline about the problem."

This caused quite an impressive lineup of Virgin Blue jets along Golf this afternoon...

I think that it might be time for Virgin Blue to find a stable system, since they switched there has been many major problems and they are the ones copping it, not the software company who is fully to blame by the sounds of it.

From the Herald Sun quoting VB spokesperson "We were doing an upgrade on the network but the glitch did not cause any major worries"

WhoTF does a network upgrade during the day?
