- CrowdStrike’s attorney said Delta turned down on-site assistance in the wake of the outage.
- Delta CEO Ed Bastian estimated last week that the mass cancellations after the outage cost the company some $500 million, and CrowdStrike’s lawyer says its liability is capped at under $10 million.
- Delta canceled more than 5,000 flights after the outage, taking longer to recover than rivals.
CrowdStrike on Sunday said Delta Air Lines had rejected on-site help during last month’s massive outage that sparked thousands of flight cancellations.
