Some perspective.

It was a glitch with a map not being replaced properly during an upgrade of the software. Total disruptions (no cancellations) were 54 over two days. During same that two day period, the American Airlines group flew approximately 13,400 flights. Again, no flights were cancelled.

Sources for this information are the Dallas Morning News and American Airlines website.
