This is more and more looking like Delta did the right thing. The IT was "protected", systems were isolated against attack. The threat came from within essentially.
If my time card closes as it's sits now all the contractual provisions are accounted for without me having to ask. I've no desire to kick the company when they are down. Pot Hole Pete is doing that already and I'm about over it, and he's blaming our company, not ClownStrike or MS.
I do want a good PS check next February, but I want CS and Bill Gates to write the check.

out of curiousity were you out +2 days from original rotation completion? Was the new final day only a deadhead to return you to base?

Ed went hard at MS and Crowdstrike on CNBC the other day. It still is kind of passing the buck but maybe it is smart to make this play in light of possible litigation/threat of litigation. Internally they better be working on a plan to make sure this doesn’t happen again. It blows my mind we don’t run mission critical services on Unix based machines which can be spun up almost infinitely anywhere in the world on any server cluster at anytime in a matter of minutes.

Perhaps when someone writes the code for the systems we need that is unix based. Right now, that doens't exist.

Memo on Skynet from Ed awarding 2 PS passes to all employees.

For everyone? If you were on vacation you still get them?

tennisguru

I think they just give every employee the passes regardless of their vacation status. Not sure how it plays out if you’re on LDT or other long term leave status.

yabut. Is crowd strike going to pay us? I mean, so many of us suffered lots of stress and anxiety we should each probably get like 50k.

Are you guys okay? This isn’t much of a crowdstrike issue. Of course they’re going to attempt litigation, because Delta management is too arrogant to recognize their own failures, and accepting this outcome without litigation would be to admit failure. Best case scenario, this litigation will result in a relatively small settlement.

I think you all have conveniently forgotten that almost every airline was affected by the flawed update from crowdstrike. The problem for Delta is that they objectively handled it the worst of all the airlines based on every measurable metric available. Not only that, but their meltdown lasted several days longer than anybody else’s. Just because crowdstrike was the initial catalyst does not mean delta is absolved of its own colossal failures that resulted from it. That’s like saying even though I crashed the jet during a V1 cut in the sim, it’s actually the sim instructor’s fault for cutting the engine. Pathetic excuses from the most arrogant management group in the industry.

Delta for years now has been blinded by its own complacency and arrogance. Tom Brady? Really? How did that help you at all when times got tough?
