The drama is heating up between CrowdStrike and Delta Airlines amid a potential lawsuit<\/a> against the technology company after July’s mass outage<\/a> that allegedly led to the cancelation of thousands<\/a> of Delta flights.<\/p>\n

On Sunday, CrowdStrike’s lawyer Michael Carlinsky reportedly wrote to<\/a> Delta Airlines’ lawyer David Boies that Delta’s threats of a lawsuit “contributed to a misleading narrative that CrowdStrike is responsible for Delta’s IT decisions and response to the outage.”<\/p>\n

The letter alleged that CrowdStrike CEO George Kurtz reached out to Delta CEO Ed Bastian amid the disaster to “offer onsite assistance, but received no response,” per CNBC.<\/p>\n

Carlinsky also said that should Delta go forward with the lawsuit, the airline would have to “explain to the public, its shareholders, and ultimately a jury why CrowdStrike took responsibility for its actions\u2014swiftly, transparently, and constructively\u2014while Delta did not.”<\/p>\n

Last week, Bastian spoke to “Squawk Box” and said that the airline had “no choice” but to seek damages following the incident.<\/p>\n

“We have to protect our shareholders,” Bastian said on the show<\/a>. “We have to protect our customers, our employees, for the damage, not just to the cost of it, but to the brand, the reputational damage.”<\/p>\n

The CrowdStrike update caused widespread outages on Microsoft-run devices and internal issues at Delta, affecting one of the airline’s top crew-tracking tools.<\/p>\n

Delta reportedly lost<\/a> between $350 million and $500 million during the outages and canceled roughly 7,000 flights.<\/p>\n

Delta has not disclosed how much it would seek in compensation from CrowdStrike, and the lawsuit has not yet officially been filed. Still, Bastian told employees via an internal memo<\/a> last Friday that the airline was “planning to pursue legal claims” against the tech company.<\/p>\n

Delta Airlines was down<\/a> over 15.5% year-over-year as of Tuesday afternoon.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
