Reply To: BA flight cancellation and rebook c£2k claim rejected – advice please

[NorthernLass]

@JDB, I tired of that particular thread long before it ended but I am certain that that is not the case! You and @LL have differing views on the issue, and you yourself are fully aware that each case is dealt with on its own merit and is dependent on the interpretation of a particular judge.

Whether people decide to take your advice or not, it always adds something to the debate and provides food for thought. (Equally, so does that of @LL and other contributors, of course).

In this case, I would submit 2 separate claims -if the pilot hours issue is in fact the genuine reason for the cancellation, BA’s compo bot may well just approve the claim and pay out very quickly, otherwise a definite rejection may be forthcoming. Either way, this matter is sorted for the claimant and she can focus on the reimbursement claim instead.
