Or have I already "missed" the connection and thus could just go get a long cold drink and consider filing a claim for delay? I'm too old for those multi-terminal sprints that I used to do (often finding that I'd been offloaded anyway.)

boiled down to its essence. under MCT equals claim compensation?
