United Airlines Grounded By Tech, Not Turbulence This Time
United Airlines passengers found themselves involuntarily grounded thanks to an unforgiving 'technology issue' as the FAA slapped a ground stop across major hubs like Chicago, Denver, and Newark. In a statement smoother than a touchdown pass, United promised, 'Safety is our top priority' while warning, 'We expect additional flight delays this evening.' Flights already airborne sipped their tiny airplane cocktails en route, meanwhile regional express flights threw a pity party, untouched by the chaos. Basically, your flight was held hostage by the digital gremlins ā buckle up for patience.
