As stated above, for a flight originating in the US the EU/CAA rules do not apply. The correct government agency to contact would be the US DOT.

It appears this ruling--re Wallentin-Hermann v. Alitalia Airlines--should solidify the case of the person who began this thread. The entire story appears in the link below.

Phx Flyer: I know you're in a state of denial. However, PLEASE read that part of the article which states that flights FROM / TO the USA are covered by their ruling. Perhaps, Phx, you will want to hop on your beloved US Airways (assuming they can get you there--in less than two weeks!) and file an appeal to the EU High Court (if this ruling didn't come from there.) One can never be too careful, Phx, your precious FF miles may, now, be in jeapordy! About your miles and fantastic "super-elite" status: If a flight attendant vomits in your face I suppose your response is to say "thank you," and can I have another 1,000 miles.
