Delta Air Lines’ compensation offer to passengers of the recent Toronto crash has sparked mixed reactions. After USA Today reported that Delta would provide each passenger $30,000, social media quickly filled with debates. The airline clarified that the payment would not affect passengers’ legal rights and came with no conditions.
Some passengers felt relieved that everyone survived and considered the compensation a generous gesture. Others joked about the offer, with one Reddit user quipping, “How do I volunteer to survive a plane crash and get paid?” However, many criticized the amount, saying it was insufficient for the trauma endured. One Facebook commenter argued, “Too little for that much trauma. PTSD, never flying again, imagine yourself in that moment.” Another suggested a larger package, such as $100,000 or free flights forever.
