Although it wasn’t immediately clear what system was experiencing a technical glitch, civil rights activist DeRay Mckesson tweeted that a Delta pilot told him that “the system that gives them clearance paperwork” was down.
I’m on the runway on a Delta flight and the pilot said the system that gives them clearance paperwork is down and that they’ll hopefully get a system update in 10 minutes.
