This will be very costly for AT.

Think of all the EU 261 compensation. Ouch.

Media reports say AT has offered CAD 200 travel voucher. Methinks the story is not over.

That doesn't meet the EC261 requirements, although it's a nice gesture.

Nice gesture? It's paltry and assumes that people would be happy to fly Air Transat again after finding their pilots were drunk. I'm not sure I would be.

According to BBC News, the pilots were released on bail yesterday, on condition that they surrender their passports.
