Clearly I'm late reading and jumping into this one. But I'm wondering if the airline could have offloaded the so-called faulty cargo, and thus eliminated most or all of the delay. They frequently offload baggage when the passenger isn't onboard, which is some acknowledgment that "offloading" is pretty standard.
In other words, even if faulty cargo is unusual, the failure to remove it and operate the flight may make them liable for compensation?
