Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca also apply here. See the sidebar on the homepage:
"Hodgins says he was offered a C$2,000 flight voucher by the airline, but said compensation would not “fix the problem” of how the airline failed its disabled passengers."
Given how much this seems to be happening I'd be for fining any airline that does this 100k. Half for the victims and half for disability advocacy groups.
Not 100k. The total ticket price of every person on that plane. Make it unprofitable to be inhuman bastards.
After operation expenses I feel like that's about $100k profit per trip
It's easier to just guarantee it's a loss after such a trip by taking the income they generated for that trip and removing it.
Yeah you're right and it would avoid airlines raising rates to compensate
