Reference KLM possible sched reduction. I/m sure all of the major carriers will have contingency plans in place. If there is a widespread computer outage, they will all grind to a halt.

Wade, A long time ago in this thread, there was mention of David Stewart touting ZITL. I note that his site stewartreport.com is no longer active. Did he take his money and run or is he under another URL? He was one of the initial ANALysts that recommended ZITL during its metoeric rise and subsequent fall saying keep the faith as I am sure he shorted the hell of out it. I was just interested in what happened to him and his latest response to a $12 ZITL

"KLM to ground some flights due to y2k problems?" I read the article and did not think this was a safety issue. I thought it was an internal KLM scheduling issue, the same as any other non-airline company might face. What KLM non-aircraft computers could possibly have any impact on safety? Even if ARINC went totally dead, I don't see that as being a huge problem. I mean, if you wanted to take an extreme position, I suppose some of the maintenance scheduling programs could be problematic. But do you really think those programs have big Y2K problems? I don't know, but I would expect it would have been pretty easy to do TBO calculations without referencing dates. But, as I said, I don't what the maintenance computer programs are like. I'd be willing to bet serious money that there will be zero KLM flights canceled on 1/1/00 (or at least zero where the payload is above breakeven).
