This does not apply to US airlines.
FAA and DOT. REGULATIONS do not require airlines to compensate passengers for delayed or cancelled flights.
In the United States, airlines are not required to compensate passengers when flights are delayed or cancelled.  Compensation is required by U.S. law only when certain passengers are “bumped” from a flight that is oversold.
