Twitter reports of multiple/erroneous flight plans coming out of the United computer system. You can understand the problem if the company files route "alpha to bravo to charlie" and the flight crew gets paperwork saying "delta to echo to foxtrot." Happens at times but if a bunch happened at once FAA Flow Control is likely to ground stop the herd.
