@lhar – although I have been sacked by @LadyLondon from offering any 261 advice on this site, may I just say there is no such thing as a ‘slam dunk’ case. Each case needs to considered on its own factual matrix and the failure to do so is the downfall of many. BA is very creative and wins many cases that you would perhaps call ‘slam dunk’ precisely because the claimant thinks they don’t need to make much effort to tailor their claims to the very precise circumstances.

@JDB There are lots of people whom I’d prefer didn’t give 261 advice but you’re not one of them so post as much as you like even if it irks some people.

@lhar this is finer than a black and white “slam dunk” if the pilot went (as was due to) to out of hours due to ATC restrictions then is that BAs fault and so not compensational whereas if it was due to poor BA operations it might be.
