There are several other stories claiming the enire AA 737 fleet. Star Sparky claimed 5 planes only, then it was a dozen then several dozen now I see stories claiming 70 planes plus and then the entire 737 fleet on AA.
So lets go with 50 plus. and being a 737 holds around 200. then it's safe to assume that somewhere between 2500 and 10,000 passengers were affected. Yeah sure just a little tiny problem hahahahah.
I said several, not five. Try to read what I say, not what you wish I said and understand HOW the fleet was merely minorly affected, not grounded, by having to update their Jeppeson software databases, you idiot.
However, planes are delayed every day. You are changing the tenor of the argument. Five planes were required to return to the terminal to connect to a WIFI. Those passengers were deplaned. Others were merely delayed while a PDF file of Ronald Reagan International Airport was loaded on the Pilot's and Co-Pilot's iPads, and a new version of the FlightDeck software was loaded with an older version of the database that did not have the doubled chart. The rest of the fleet will merely have to download the new update. . . they were affected only in that their FlightDeck software had the same database, because they ALL use the identical software. Can't you grasp that simple fact????
The number of potential people delayed is irrelevant. That's the fallacy of appealing to bad consequences.
