I have been banned from one UK airline complaints and whingers Facebook site for arguing against the pathetic compensation society we now live in and in particular EU261. Compensation is now set at €250 for a 3 hour delay even for a £39 ticket. The site I have been banned from even suggests taking your time disembarking a plane if it is already late to try to get past the 3 hour mark. Can even claim for delays following a bird strike for god sake. Now I find pilots claiming from their employer. I just give up.
