When the EU law says you are due 600€ for missing a flight, that also means you are due only 600€ for missing a flight, no matter what. Doesn’t matter if you missed out on the job of a lifetime, or if you weren’t present for your father’s last breath. It’s so disingenuous how they craft a narrative of citizens/consumers first, but in end effect, the only ones who have the ear of von der Leyen and the rest of the EC are the lobbyists. Metsola is the head of the EP and she’s the biggest corporate stooge to ever walk this planet.

    How would you do it? Genuinely curious.

    In this very context, what law do you suggest that would enforceable in practice, does apply to all people and all cases and is compatible with past laws?

    I’m not saying it is your duty to do so, I’m not saying some politician don’t have other interests in mind beside that of all citizens, yet I also do not think it is trivial so I’m wondering if there is an obvious better alternative than what is in place. I believe by trying we often see that the current solution isn’t great but there are a lot more worst ones and that new ones often have other flaws, at least have different compromises.
