CrowdStrike Says Delta CEO Ignored Help Offer During Outage
This article is for subscribers only.
CrowdStrike Holdings Inc. says the leadership of Delta Air Lines Inc. failed to respond to an offer for assistance in the wake of last month’s catastrophic system outage that led to thousands of canceled flights and a federal investigation of the US carrier.
The allegation, in a letter Sunday from attorneys for the technology firm, builds upon CrowdStrike’s claim last week that Delta rejected its repeated attempts to help. CrowdStrike said Sunday that its chief executive officer, George Kurtz, tried to connect with his counterpart at the airline, Delta CEO Ed Bastian.
