Which just goes to demonstrate that being a little more deliberate with this Instead of taking off with removed pax’ cabin baggage might have been the smarter play,
At the very least 28-30 passengers are entitled to the $2400 (not sure of the exact amt) as per Canadian regulations for 24hr controllable delay. Plus additional costs like rebooked tickets, hotels, meals, baggage, lost wages, etc. And any other effects like stress, reputation, etc. So over $100K and thats assuming no one wants to go to court. I know $100K is a small amount for a large corp. Reputation damage is who knows what.
