Why It Matters: The system outage at Delta resulted in thousands of flight cancellations, prompting a federal investigation into the U.S. carrier. The Atlanta-based airline was significantly impacted, struggling to normalize flight operations for several days after the outage.
爲何重要：達美航空的系統中斷導致數千次航班取消，促使聯邦政府對這家美國航空公司進行調查。這家總部位於亞特蘭大的航空公司受到嚴重影響，在停電後的幾天內一直難以實現航班運營的正常化。
Delta reportedly incurred a $500 million charge due to the cancellation of more than 5,500 flights in the days following the initial system outage.
據報道，由於在首次系統中斷後的幾天內取消了5,500多個航班，達美航空產生了5億美元的費用。
Previously, Delta's CEO criticized Microsoft's platform for its "fragility," while praising Apple Inc. for its stability. ""My sense is [Microsoft is] probably the most fragile platform within that space... When was the last time you heard about a big outage at Apple," he stated in an interview.
此前，達美航空首席執行官批評微軟平台的 “脆弱性”，同時稱讚蘋果公司的穩定性。“” 我的感覺是 [微軟] 可能是該領域中最脆弱的平台...你最後一次聽說蘋果發生重大停電是什麼時候。” 他在接受採訪時說。
