The SSK points out that the legislation is flawed. No surprise there - most legislation seems to be! But what seems to be happening here in this forum thread is that the discussion is taking its own path, away from what I had hoped to discover in my original question.
Yes, of course it would be expensive if every pax was paid compensation at these high rates. That's an argument that can justifiably form a thread of its own.
But my query was based on the fact that the legislation does exist, whether we approve of it or not; I hoped I might get some useful advice about how to take things forward.
Instead, sadly, I have somehow become the villain! What a pity, when every other discussion I have been involved with on PPrune has resulted in useful and constructive advice being passed back and forth between contributore. Still, like the airlines and their published departure times, I shouldn't expect 100% success rate.
