So far (about 2 months after my first request for refunds) I have received 0,00 refund.
For almost all the tickets I have at least once (mostly twice) received a response claiming "we're not responsible".
Just saying...
Also: I spent over 2 hours watching that press conference of the European commission the other day, that lady really got cornered by the journalists regarding the breach of the EU-wide law, but her response was even worse than Aegean's, constantly repeating herself with useless information, trying to dodge the question up to the point the moderator decided to exclude all similar future questions and basically trying to hide the issue under the carpet with a "plan" that will simply buy the airlines and states more time, before forcing refunds with sanction threats. However my feeling was that their embarrassment must have been such that they will be forced to take measures sooner than they planned or they risk total humiliation at the next press conference.
i think, they will do nothing, because they know exactly, that companys dont have the money, to refund tickets , before they start to make profit again. They also know, if they forcing them to pay now, they will not, or only if goverments giving money for that. 15 countrys are more then the half in EU, and they not stupid, to wote against them self, also they don want them own companys bankrupt , with millions of workers around Europe, and 1000 other reason.
