U.S. regulators are investigating how Delta Air Lines is
treating passengers affected by canceled and delayed flights
as the airline struggles to recover from a global technology
outage.
Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg announced the
Delta investigation on the X social media platform Tuesday
"to ensure the airline is following the law and taking
care of its passengers during continued widespread disruptions."
"All airline passengers have the right to be treated fairly,
and I will make sure that right is upheld," Buttigieg said.
Delta and its Delta Connection partners canceled about 500
flights on Tuesday by midday on the East Coast, accounting
for about two-thirds of all cancellations in the United
States, according to trackng platform FlightAware.

Ask BoodieJudge about how well he's taken care of US
citizens interests after a certain train disaster ...
In any case, the "tech outage" was due to a "friendly"
interest gone a bit wrong. IMAGINE what UN-friendly
entities can do right now ... we've seen hints .....
Sorry, but we've gone TOO connected/tech when it comes
to vital civil/economic infrastructure. It's all SO
"convenient" - to our ENEMIES .....
Who let it GET that way ? Why ?
Hey, GO to the bank to do banking ... let them SEE
you, know your face, voice, habits. WAY too easy
for Vlad and friends to PRETEND to be you if you
use online/phone apps. Good luck getting a penny
back ... the bank will say "PROVE it wasn't you !"
Clearly "security" is now almost non-existent for
phone apps especially - even with 2-factor involved.
Not sure what 3-factor would be, but "AI" can fake
face/voice VERY easily these days and even your
DNA is on-file now. M$ brags about it ......
Just sayin' ......
