Only way that MAG would have to pay-up is if the terms of the usage contract specified recovery of losses due to the use of Mike intersection departures, it would be based on what service level was promised vs delivered. Even then while airlines were requested and generally given Mike, the could request full length, so it might not stand. That doesn't mean the MAG did not give a refund. Incidentally, in court the airline would have to be able to demonstrate actual losses and not theoretical losses beyond just the fees payed.
