    all that’s fine and good, but one just needs to see your username to fathom what could potentially go wrong.

      Computer algorithms solve problems all over the world for companies already. I bet airlines already have teams of people using computer algorithms to figure crew management, flight routing, cost optimization, etc.

      The fact that they’re exploring quantum computers and non-classical algorithms just suggests that gate allocation is NP-Hard. Sure things go wrong when computers fail already, Look at Southwest or Delta’s recent meltdown, but to act like this a bad thing is just nonsense. This should be looked at as a good thing that airlines are working on.
