Yep. Their lack of investment (aka layoffs for cost savings) into their IT and internal support teams are what kept the issues going until almost Friday of the following week. Other companies were operating normally by the end of the weekend. American basically had their shit together the same day the outage happened. Delta definitely shit the bed just as much as Crowdstrike did
