I’ve heard that even if you win in small claims it’s hard to collect from these giant corps. Were you ever able to collect the damages?

[patio11]

I would bet that if one is unsavvy about it one gets paid out about as quickly as they pay vendors (which can be glacial) but that a demand letter to the general counsel with a judgement attached results in a check getting cut no later than the business day after the day the letter is opened.

The airline sent me a check about a month after the hearing for the full 3x amount.

Does that airline still allow you to fly with them?

[ilamont]

Yes, it did. I never had any service denial or other problem as a result of taking the airline to small claims court.
