Airlines likely to suffer more outages

In just the past two weeks, two major airlines have suffered massive technical glitches, bringing their operations to a standstill.

But a new report suggests that even more devastating glitches are likely to happen thanks in part to an aging U.S. airline reservation system technology. 

Reuters reports that security experts warn that glitches like that suffered by Delta Airlines this week, and Southwest Airlines last week, are inevitable unless carriers spend the money to upgrade their systems.

The Buick Encore got the least number of tickets.
