Whats wrong with that? It seems to have worked. Sure not ideal, but better than canceling flights and shutting down the airport.

- antidesitter 8y agoObviously it’s better than shutting down the airport. But is it better than the alternatives Someone1234 proposed? That was the question.
- williamdclt 8y agoI don't have the data of course but it does seem better. Those alternative are pretty expensive to build and maintain, have to be tested regularly and are prone to failure. For a situation that has a very low probability of happening, whiteboards do seem more reasonable, that's a very lean approach!

- tomc1985 8y agoNot saying there was anything wrong with it. The people who came in during their off hours to update whiteboards for however many hours are the real heroes of this operation. That said it was probably very expensive :P Theres a lot of fawning over the humble whiteboard here, just wanted to emphasize that they were part of a larger scheme
