Executive director of The Coalition for an Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights files lawsuit against Delta Air Lines
DALW | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating -- The Gibson Law Firm reported on today that the executive director of
The Coalition for an Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights, also known as
FlyersRights.org, has filed a federal lawsuit against Delta Air Lines
(NYSE: DAL | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) alleging that the carrier obtained hacked e-mails and
sabotaged her organisation's efforts to support pro-consumer
legislation in Congress.
Kate Hanni, executive director and founder of FlyersRights.org, sued
Delta Air Lines and Metron Aviation Inc, of Dulles, Virginia, claiming
that her e-mails and those of at least two reporters were obtained by
the defendants suspiciously.
According to Hanni, she learned from America Online that her personal
e-mail files were redirected to an unknown location, as well as donor
lists, spreadsheets and other information.
Hanni's lawsuit alleges that the e-mail hacking started in 2008 and
continued this year while Hanni was involved in communications with an
airline industry consultant who analysed airline delays for the federal
US government.
Dr Frederick J Foreman, the consultant, provided a sworn affidavit that
he was authorised to share publicly available data with Hanni and news
reporters, but was terminated by Metron on 25 September when Delta Air
Lines officials learned of the communications.
