I highly doubt a WHS claim will be the straw that breaks the camel’s back. They’re a business not a charity, it’s no more immoral for the staff to seek redress than for the organisation to make whatever decisions they made in the first place. Besides, they almost certainly have insurance against this kind of thing

Getting infected with this disease is worse than having a flight cancelled - yet I don't know many people advocating that people shouldn't press for EC261 compensation when it is due
But yes - blame the victims for having the gall to not just accepting what happened
If it turns out that there is no answerable case, I doubt that it will get ti trial or , if it does, the airline will win the case
