Do you think that the amount the jury awarded is appropriate for the case?



Anything LESS would not send a useful message to the airline.

Wasn't it AA that held a plane full of passengers on the tarmac for 8+ hours just last month.

For more than eight hours Friday, passengers on American Airlines Flight 1348, rerouted from Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport during Friday's storms, sat on the tarmac at Austin-Bergstrom International Airport – with no food, dirty toilets and frustration levels rising.

They watched out their windows as planes landed and took off.


Jerks!

There is not enough information to tell whether it was or was not. It'd be nice to know the basis for the damages award. Were punitives involved? Etc? I mean, if he was awarded $40k in general damages, but $00k in punitives, then it would absolutely make sense.

He was awarded $400K not $40K.
