Mass airline cancellations

Why were there so many?
"The reason for this is that the original Fortran got so convoluted and extensive (10's of millions of lines of code) that no-one can actually figure out how it works, there's a massive project going on to decode the original Fortran and write a more modern system, but until then, the UK communication network is actually relying heavily on 35 year old Fortran that nobody understands." - Flipside

A wiring problem that managed to span across a huge number of MD-80 aircraft in American Airline's fleet.  The fleet was grounded for maintenance.

The FAA got caught with its shorts down, and now they are auditing many of the major airlines to ensure that they are following safety regulations to the letter.  American Airlines has had the worst of it, from what I've heard, though every carrier is dealing with the issue.
