There should be MAJOR fines and penalties here. The reasons stuff like this happens all the time, is because it's just a business expense to the company, while they strand real people in incredibly difficult and often dangerous and occasionally life threatening situations. But for the airline, it's just good business. Would 100% support an executive getting a long prison sentence on this as well. I know it will never happen but serious consequences are the only way stuff like this stops happening.
