Not an expert here, but I imagine that in a lot of cases, if he won, there would be a precident for a class-action suit that some lawyer would jump on. Even if there wasn't, everyone could just start filing small lawsuits that they know they wouldn't fight.

I'm pretty sure class actions are statutorily excluded for property claims against airlines.

To the poster who asked about cost of defense being more than $544, the answer is yes, but they don't care. It's not much more, b/c I think the lawyers do it on a flat rate and they probably send the jr associates to cut their teeth. The paperwork.briefs have been written ages ago and are just recycled.
