00:02A U.S. bankruptcy court delayed a hearing on Google's proposed $10 million purchase of Spirit Aviation Holdings' internal business
00:09data until September 9th, according to Benzinga.
00:13The delay followed objections from the Association of Flight Attendants CWA, which represents Spirit's cabin crew.
00:19The union warned that links across datasets could allow sensitive employee information to be reconstructed, including payroll records, emails, and
00:28internal communications.
00:30Google agreed to buy the de-identified data to improve its products and train artificial intelligence models.
00:36Spirit said the records do not contain customer or personally identifiable information.
00:41The sale still requires court approval, and the data has not been transferred.
00:46Spirit Airlines ceased operations in May after creditors rejected a U.S. government rescue plan, following years of financial distress
00:53compounded by rising jet fuel costs during the Iran War.
