Delta had a 6 day recovery time, why were other airlines able to recovery faster?

Perhaps Delta had a shittier recovery plan.

Or Delta has shittier software. News articles kept mentioning Delta's crew scheduling system couldn't keep up with its backlog after it was brought back online, and I take that to be the reason they had to cancel flights for so long.

If true, that's not Crowdstrike's fault, it's Delta's for not investing enough in their own mission-critical systems to make them resilient after an outage.
