Comair Sysadmin Blames Idiots in Marketing For Computer Crash

By Gerard Oh \| Dealer staff writer	Wed, Jan 5, 2005
HEBRON, Ky - Bobby Bostwick, a systems administrator in Comair's IT department, faults the "idiots in marketing" for the computer failure Christmas week that resulted in a literal shutdown of the airline and stranding of thousands of passengers. Bobby stated, "Those morons in marketing don't know jack about computers. But they're the ones making promises to all the passengers and executives and shit. I bet not one of them even knows what SCSI means. HAHAHAHA." The computer program crashed when it exceeded its hard limit of schedule and crew changes. Bobby added that he's sure "the whole mess could've been avoided if only we were using Linux."
