Money Moral Dilemma: Should I share my flight delay compensation?

We suffered a 4-hour flight delay for which I've received £1,300+ in compensation. They assumed I'd share it with them, should I? Unfortunately the MSE team can't always answer money…

Subsequent to that we could not leave because the engines could not be started: we missed our slot and whilst waiting…
