14. Flight-delay advocate
The job: Her flight was delayed. Muse emailed the airline's director of customer care about compensation — then prepared a US DOT complaint and a French mediation filing as backup.
My [airline] flight [XX123] on [date] was delayed [3] hours. Research what compensation I can claim under [US DOT rules / EU 261]. Email customer care requesting it, citing the regulation. If they don't resolve it within [14 days], draft the regulator complaint for my review — prepare it, don't file it.
Why it works: escalation as a ladder — polite request first, regulator paperwork ready second. "Prepare, don't file" is the delegation boundary that makes this safe.
