But you can't just do that as a business selling "dream holidays" (their expression - and on the "Dreamliner"), and then get out of it at the last minute with "yeah, well, you'll receive EU261", itself something the industry always seems to begrudge, but god knows what would be done to the clients if it wasn't there. They're not running Soviet-era Aeroflot, you know. It's wholly up to the carrier to have ALL the resources in place to honour their commitments - something the CAA used to patrol rigorously (I can remember someone having to end up subchartering in a 737 to cover a half-full- F50).
