Delta Air Lines Seeks Damages Over Software Outage
Delta Air Lines is pursuing damages from CrowdStrike and Microsoft following a software outage that led to 6,000 flight cancellations, resulting in a $500 million loss. Despite hiring lawyer David Boies, recovering compensation may be challenging due to liability-limiting terms.
The FTC could impose fines, but individual customers may not receive damages. Delta CEO Ed Bastian aims to protect shareholders, customers, and employees from reputational harm.
CrowdStrike faces a lawsuit for a faulty update causing global outages, with potential for more legal actions. The lawsuit alleges false statements, deficient controls, and a bug leading to stock price drop.
Delta's legal battle involves various experts and legal challenges that could impact the airline's recovery efforts.
