It makes perfect sense to take off with the 122 and compensate the 2. You said it, almost.

Since you asked, I was called to the Bar in London, England and I practice civil litigation. So you do us the favour since you are impliedly expressing an opinion on the legality of the airline's acts, and tell us, which law school did you attend and what kind of law do you practice?

I said by your logic/statement they would have to compensate those 122 delayed passengers when in reality they would not. It was simply a choice of inconveniencing 2 or 122. Furthermore you don't know where the aircraft was scheduled to fly after the Philadelphia to Jacksonville flight. Jacksonville is not a US Airways hub so it may very well have gone back to Philadelphia or even Charlotte. By delaying the departure not only would the 122 going to Jacksonville be delayed but those waiting for the aircraft in Jacksonville as well. You are so short-sighted it is unbelievable.
