Two questions to answer your question...
1. How long do you think it takes for a giant company like Cisco to make
up for this "loss" you are referring to?
2. How long do you think it takes for John Doe (or Jane Doe) to recover
from his/her loss? We're not even taking into account 2nd / 3rd timers
here.
Face it - most people would hurt a lot losing a few hundred dollars in a
week. What would be an equivalent figure for a multi-billion dollar
company like Cisco? I rest my case.

Cisco itself is even a bigger victim of this disaster of nature, who
should
refund Cisco's loss from closing down the lab for a week?

I think Cisco should refund your money and give you a free shot at
the
lab next week. You've got to figure between airfares, time off from
work,
and hotels, this delay has cost you guys plenty. Good luck.
