I’m not exactly an AC fanboy but there are a few recent examples here that show AC is, at times, paying these promptly without fuss. So perhaps there is hope!

AC, like many carriers, hopes that the 15% "discount" will make you go away. It probably does end most claims and thus, the few times people also claim EC 261/2004 compensation are not a big issue to AC. More importantly, while there is some cost to a discount because you are occupying a seat which might -- stress might -- have sold for more, the hit to net revenue is not much.
