That also means that affected customers couldn’t get boarding passes through their account in the mobile app, and were left to stand in interminably long lines (likely missing those flights that did operate). You can get a boarding pass without being logged in – I do this all the time with Delta because I usually credit to Flying Blue, where I have status – but that’s precisely what Delta should be communicating proactively with customers, explaining to them what to do. Pretty big fail here not to communicate at all.
