'Boarding was denied to me. Deployment

A Microsoft -Executive claims that due to his past business visa, he was not allowed to let flight to India rise. The executive based in Seattle accepted social media this morning to determine that confusion of the date format led to the boarding at the airport.

The corporate Vice President of Microsoft Word and editor said that he had made more than 500 flights in the past two decades, but has never missed one to this day – when he reached the airport without realizing that his business visa had expired.

Microsoft Exec refused boarding

“Today I met my match at the airport. After I flown 563 flights and never missed a flight, I was denied boarding for my flight to India. My own guilt. My 5 -year business visa ran on 2/2/2025 … after I had looked at this half a dozen times, I missed the obvious conversion to international conventions. My visa does not run in October, but last month in February. Mm/dd/yyyy against DD/mm/yyyy finally stumbled me, ”wrote the Microsoft employee on the meta-owned thread platform.

The source of his confusion was used in various date formats that were used in the United States compared to most other parts of the world, including India.

The United States mainly use the MM/DD/JJJJ format (month/day/year). On the other hand, most other countries use the DD/MM/YJJJJ format (day/month/year).

This difference can cause confusion, especially for data such as 10/02/2025, which could mean October 2 in the USA, but on February 10th. This is exactly what happened with the Microsoft CVP.

The Microsoft manager, who considered many of what many considered to be an avoidable mistake, criticized and defended himself. “In the United States, around 350 million people use MM / DD / JJJJ. The encounter with other date formats with other formats can actually lead to mistakes, ”he wrote.
