Unfortunately, you are out-of-luck on this one. I completely see your perspective but from the airlines perspective, they went by the rules. Each ticket is a contract to get the passenger from point A to point B. The fact that your husband bought one ticket to vancouver (through Philippine airlines) and a separate one to Vegas (through west jet), the airlines involved are not liable to pay any damages.

I hope there is a day when airlines get penalized for delays (even if it is one minute delay), just like they penalize passengers for delays. However, until then, based on the current rules, the airline actually did its job!
