Yes and no. Plenty of security options that actually work. Not necessarily ones that can make all the promises of clownstrike, but only some moronic cto would buy in to marketing hype …
If you went to Romania, you could buy 33 loaves of bread and still have 0.1 USD left(i would have gave the equivalent for a country where bread is cheaper if i knew the price of any)
You probably cant travel to Romania with 0.1 USD(or even with 10 USD) and i dont think the damage that caused was equivalent to 33 loaves of bread, but how could have they known that? Maybe they think everyone can teleport everywhere else for 0.1 USD and think bread is worth more than gold
Naaahhhh, this isn’t JUST a greedy fuck who wandered in to muck and needs a haul out. This is a greedy fuck who got in the way of other greedy fucks stealing their bag.
The other greedy fucks are at least going to make sure to draw a little blood.
Family of 5, 4 cancelled Delta flights, 5 extra days, rental car to drive 1200 miles, 2 hotel stays plus meals just to get back home. Yep, 10 dollars should just about cover it. Thanks crowdstrike! Thank you Microsoft! Thank you Delta!
Edit: Wait a second, I don’t get the 10 dollars? Delta gets it? Oh well, that’s good cause I didn’t know what I was going to do with the left over change. Probably feed the homeless or something.
We can’t get a Delta representative to answer the phones. Went to the airport and the attendants there could not help us or even tell us if the next flight would be cancelled or not. We’re keeping all our receipts just in case the travel gods smile upon us.
If they accepted a refund for the flights, it’s probably too late unfortunately.
But for next time, airlines are required by law to rebook you in a timely manner. Even if it’s on a competitor’s flight. If they fail to do this, you can get home any way you choose then send them the invoice. If they refuse, small claims will force them to pay. Ideally record any conversations you have with them and keep all receipts.
If you’re in the US, you can file a complaint with the DoT At this link here. It was set up recently :)
it’s really Delta’s job to at least cover the cost of the hotels/rentals for what is (basically) their fuck up. (that fuck up being using clowdstrike/MS.)
