Why can't the company just have enough people on standby, or offer short notice overtime opportunities, rather than cancel the flight? Everybody has a price and that price is significantly lower than 372 EU261 claims.
EasyJet are the only airline that don't seem to understand this and just cancel flights when the standby list dries up. Bullying people into going into discretion is not the answer.
