Unhappy

So, our Bent Banana767 is out of service for three and a half months for repairs costing almost US$2.5 million and the insurance doesn't cover the loss of service. The tug driver who hit it is claiming compensation for shock, distress and loss of earnings. The tug itself was tested and found to be serviceable. Presumably its Boeing's fault for making the landing gears too short.

If no-one is making any money, neither Airline, nor Handling Agency nor Employees, and Passengers don't want to pay more for their travel, what exactly is the answer?
