Actually the damages would be pilot upgrades lost. They would figure out how many jobs it would have taken to make up the capacity change required. They would then figure out the net change in pilot pay to upgrade from say a 737 to a 767 to fill in the gaps. We don't get the revenues from the flights, we just get the costs for the upgrade jobs lost.
