It's interesting but why would terrorists hack the reservation system? Unless it is connected to the 'no fly list(s)' data.
If nothing else it's an odd coincidence.

Nancy St. Pierre, who heads external communications for Southlake-based Sabre Holdings Group, tells CBS 11 News the problem is affecting every carrier that is part of the reservation network.
“We are experiencing a system issue and our technology teams are working to resolve the issue as quickly as possible,” St. Pierre said
In its online media materials, Sabre Holdings reports its software system puts more than 500 million passengers on planes each year. In addition, the company says it connects some 370,000 travel agents and provides reservation service for 93,000 hotels, 27 car rental companies, 50 rail providers and 14 cruise lines

Yet,
This thread right here made me consider something.
Two motives, two possibilities.
A e-attack on aviation infrastructure has a very plausible motive. 1) A security firm or firm that offers secure computing, doing it under the name of "the Bad Guys" and 2) Be it government or a multi-national, looking to get the heat off themselves, could do it as a distraction.
Personally I see the first with a greater chance of happening.
S&F, good catch
