Computer Glitch Leaves American Airlines Flights Without Pilots
This morning, American Airlines announced that an overnight computer glitch has allowed American pilots and first officers to drop their assigned, scheduled flights. The pilots union representing the airline subsequently announced that approximately 12,000 flights now have no assigned pilots or first officers through the end of July.

Sure it was just a computer glitch. We all know why there is a shortage of pilots and it has nothing to do with computer glitches
Are these the same computer people and management that couldn't find the 500,000 frequent flyer miles I earned on US Airways when they merged with American so that 500,000 miles could be combined with the 900,000 miles I have flown on American? They could find the locator numbers for the miles I had redeemed for free trips but they couldn't locate the miles to combined putting me in the million mile club. Neither Doug Parker or any of his minions ever responded to the two letters I sent him. Not surprised issues like this still happen.
A lot of people are saying operator error. Who said it was an error? Hackers are more sophisticated than ever nowadays.
A lot of "hacks" come from the inside...
I'm more inclined to think that somebody opened the schedule up. Either by accident or intentionally.

35 years retired pilot at AA. There is a system that allows you to drop or trade a work assignment for another. Trips are color coded green or red depending on manning levels and is fluid with sick calls and reserve manning.
It appears like 2017, everything turned green. If you had a trip that flew all night or nothing but weekends then a pilot would drop that in a heartbeat, knowing that with the pilot shortage crew schedule would call with a better trip. Everyone operates as a individual contractor, not knowing what is red or green in any other pilots schedule

There is an old say of computers=GIGO=GARBAGE IN GARBAGE OUT
Yes, but it’s the pilots that did it. The system allowed it.
