CrowdStrike Claps Back: Delta’s $500M Blame Game Backfires
CrowdStrike is refuting Delta Air Lines’ claims of responsibility for a massive flight disruption, stating that the airline ignored multiple offers of help. Delta’s CEO, Ed Bastian, blames the outage for a $500 million loss, but CrowdStrike argues the airline’s response was lacking compared to other affected carriers.

Hot Take:
It’s like blaming the mechanic for your car trouble after refusing to let them fix it. Delta might want to rethink its strategy before it ends up with more egg on its face than an omelet station at a breakfast buffet.
Key Points:
- Delta Air Lines blames CrowdStrike for a flight disruption after a system outage.
- The outage cost Delta $500 million and grounded over 6,000 flights.
- CrowdStrike claims Delta rejected multiple offers for assistance.
- US Department of Transportation is investigating Delta’s handling of the disruption.
- CrowdStrike asserts its liability is capped and is prepared to defend itself.
