Same here, it is not the customers fault it is the airlines fault that they subbed aircraft, they should be responsible, also I think IDB should be on a sliding scale by how much the customer is delayed. You IDB someone on the last flight of the day and they can't get home till the next day it is 20 x purchase price, a few hours late 4 x etc.
