Exactly my point for two reasons.

1. If an airline cut corners to avoid compensation payments (and hopefully they wouldn't) the consequences would be severe.

2. The airlines (such as KLM) may already be doing so with regards to over-scheduling their fleet and not allowing for enough routine maintanance time which would avert at least some of the mechanical delays.
