The accountability signal
83.3% of American Airlines's cancellations were attributed to an "extraordinary" cause — the label that can deny your compensation. Causa Real™ cross-checks whether other flights actually operated at the same airport and hour — turning an unverifiable excuse into contestable evidence.

Your rights
Applicable framework: U.S. DOT — 14 CFR Part 259 + the DOT refund rule. A cancellation for reasons within the airline's control generally entitles you to assistance and compensation; an "extraordinary" cause may limit it — but that cause can be contested with primary-source evidence.
