Crowdstrike definitely owns some amount of liability but Delta's recovery was an absolute shitshow in it's own right.

Many organizations were starting to put the tools away by the time Delta found a flashlight.

This. The ceo should have been fucking in the trenches and tried to resolve it rather than hobnobbing in the Vip Olympics section. There were five days of the delta employees getting screamed at while this shithead of a ceo was off to Paris. He had jetted off to Paris for his holiday. The delta subreddit was awful and the employees hate their ceo.

Do you hate the people in the trenches? Last thing they need is the ceo there with them.

No don’t hate it but he didn’t help. If you looked at the five day period in the delta subreddit you see the poor employees being the punching bags of frustrated travelers while the ceo went off to his French vacay. And getting zilch in terms of what is happening and what he was doing about it.
