I agree with the others.....why would you think AA should provide compensation for this? It's is certainly not an event within their control, much like the weather...would you ask for compensation if a flight is delayed due to snow, etc?

On a side note, my MIA->BOS flight last Sunday had a medical emergeny as well. Before we landed, Captain came on and asked everyone to remain seated until paramedics got on and took sick passenger off. We landed and seemed to me pilot really "flew" to the gate. I was in 1H, so I heard the purser tell the paramedics that the passenger was in the back lav. Would FAA regs allow a sick passenger to stay in the lav during landing?
