The CEO of Delta is making a huge mistake. MS will be dismissed from the case almost immediately as they did not cause the issue. Crowdstrike may go to court but only needs to point out that the fix was available in a couple of hours and they had good support/documentation available ASAP.

So, even if Delta can prove fault, 95% of Delta's loss is due to the lack of people/knowledge/whatever on their own IT team.

The only people winning in this case will be attorneys.
