There I disagree. That airlines have been shirking their responsibilities in paying up only to those that hassle enough is wrong and should never have been the case
This would simply put the airlines at the position that they should have been at since the regulation was introduced. It is bad that the organisation responsible for enforcement has just done nothing previously
