Airline was forced to apologize to Rodney Hodgins who flew to Las Vegas with his wife to celebrate their anniversary in August

    “Hodgins says he was offered a C$2,000 flight voucher by the airline, but said compensation would not “fix the problem” of how the airline failed its disabled passengers.”

    Given how much this seems to be happening I’d be for fining any airline that does this 100k. Half for the victims and half for disability advocacy groups.

        After operation expenses I feel like that’s about $100k profit per trip

          It’s easier to just guarantee it’s a loss after such a trip by taking the income they generated for that trip and removing it.

            Yeah you’re right and it would avoid airlines raising rates to compensate
