If Ryanair were doing this then this board would be saying that is what you expect from an LCC and why people here only fly BA.
It is disgraceful
You may well be right, but affected passengers have no choice but to go the CEDR or issue county court proceedings in order to have any chance of securing compensation. If BA are confident with their defence, they could try to run it. As I say, the defence is not without merit legally speaking. They could chose one case and ride with it, for the sake of throwing a few thousands at a claim they could force it to appeal and a precedent. If successful it could save them millions! If unsuccessful it's not cost them that much more in the grand scheme of things.
The lawyer in me would love to run with a case like this. It has the hallmarks of a great lawyer's case, lots to get your teeth in to evidentially and legally.
