You think the total fine ($900,000) should be split among the inconvenienced passengers?
The airport general fund is exactly where a majority of that money should go. Airport safety initiatives, EMAS installed, newer lighting systems, etc...imo.

The roaring lion of a $27,500 per pax fine the FAA has represented to the dopey saps of the general public it's cracking down on the airlines with, has in reality turned into a cute, playful $1000 per pax housecat chewtoy.
What a joke.
