Major L.
Are you saying that a "reported" 48 hour delay for a major airline is acceptable? Maybe a charter operator or a cheapie, but a Major? I don't think so. UK isn't that far away for a replacement aircraft?
If it is as reported ,they could have changed the whole engine in a quarter of that time?
Compensation doesn't bring back a wedding missed or 2 days of a holiday.
