Typical benefits to a few and less to middle management and the pilots. All signed off by legal. A familiar story from the 90s in other industries. Remember?

Again, the original post. The unprofessional and insulting comments on TexAgs is disappointing especially when coming from AGs.

Any Ags have information on their status and turnaround plans?
They are back up and fully operational right now.

Turnaround plans: they have to replace at least one IT system that is part of their core operational network. That will take several months to replace considering the integrations it probably has to other systems. And once you touch that one it probably means you have to pop the hood on others to some degree.
Assuming they haven't been tooling up for this already I'd say "months" would be an optimistic timeline. A new software needs to be selected, an implementation team needs to be assembled, that team needs to learn old integrations to figure out how to plug in the new system. Any new / bypass processes need to be documented and refined. Cyber security needs to sign off. Then coding and configuration followed by a testing period with debugging prior to transition.

And even then - you've got a hastily installed system that'll need debugging, integration point refinement, and process improvement work. "Fix the plane while you're flying it" is a phrase that's a common description to this but may be a bit on the nose this time.

For critical systems "Quarters" if not "years" is a more probable timeline.

Why is the OP asking for speculation if he's got the story? Just tell the story.

Weird thread.

Need the OP to investigate COVID. We should finally have a definitive answer on the true origin.

Agreed. When I say several months I meant many several months.

Done, The story has been reported across all news channels. I stated what I heard from former employees of LUV. My friends stated that the company was mismanaged for at least 10 years up until 2020. That is what I was told and conveyed.

My question was did anyone know about turnaround plans.? For some reason some on this board do not understand that question. Some do and gave their assessment. They are thanked for engaging in a professional dialogue.
