"Delta, unlike its competitors... has not modernized its IT infrastructure."

"Our preliminary review suggests that Delta, unlike its competitors, apparently has not modernized its IT infrastructure, either for the benefit of its customers or for its pilots and flight attendants." In a July 29 letter, Delta attorney David Boies said the airline has "reason to believe Microsoft has failed to comply with contractual requirements and otherwise acted in a grossly negligent, indeed willful, manner in connection with the Faulty Update," according to CNBC.
