Stranded And Outraged: Delta Passengers File Class Action Lawsuit Over Meager Refunds
Portfolio Pulse from Lekha Gupta
Delta Air Lines (DAL) is facing a class action lawsuit from passengers over inadequate refunds following a major computer outage. The lawsuit claims Delta breached contracts by not providing full refunds and only offering partial refunds in exchange for waivers against further legal claims. The outage, caused by a faulty software update from CrowdStrike (CRWD), led to a $500 million financial hit for Delta, which is now seeking damages from Microsoft (MSFT) and CrowdStrike. DAL stock has lost around 19% in the last 12 months.
