COMPENSATION - CURE OR CURSE?

The headline read;
AIRLINES ORDERED: PAY OUT IF FLIGHTS ARE DELAYED
It might also have read;
LANDMARK JUDGEMENT: FLYING SET TO BECOME PERILOUS 

Our law courts, or more specifically, judges, belong on another planet, preferably unpopulated, where their rulings couldn’t be so harmful to health. For years they have identified with the criminal rather than the victim but this one is a peach, set to make victims of us all. 

In essence, airlines will now be forced to pay up to £470 in compensation per passenger for flight delays; which now includes those caused by technical faults.
