More Southwest fun...Passengers Sue Over Missed Inspections

I believe the contract of carriage at airlines absolves them of financial responsibility for things like you describe.

IOW you buying the ticket means you agree to their rules; kind of like buying Windows and clicking 'I Agree'.

Bingo! Their liability is usually limited to the price of the ticket, and if they get you there within a certain number of days, they have "honored" their part fo the agreement.
