@lhar – it is highly unlikely we will see any 261 overhaul. We are unlikely to go it alone in any significant manner and the EU has recently updated the legislation with almost all consumer, national government and airline wishes ignored as there was no way of getting consensus with 27 countries for anything radical.
While you imply you don’t like the way the law currently stands/operates, it remains incredibly generous and in this country we are lucky to have free arbitration for a great many airlines or cheap and relatively simple recourse to the courts in a way you won’t find in that many European countries.
