I heard a rumor comair was found Criminally Negligent in the LEX incident. I honestly am wondering if any word of this is floating around Comair.

I had no idea any of the court cases had gone this far already.
 
Well, I can't find it.

I hope it's not the case. Something like that could wipe out the company. Those guys have been box-kicked enough lately.

Wouldn't there first have to be a charge of criminal negligence, followed by maybe a trial?
 
All of the cases by the families have been settled. The judge did not "find" Comair criminally negligent... only that the families could try and sue for criminal negligence which would open up the possibility of the punitive damages if a jury found so fit.

However, Comair's outside law firm settled 47 of the 49 shortly thereafter. One fired their lawyer and settled latter. One more thought they could hold out for more.... they have since settled.

So whatever rumor you heard, it is not true.

Thanks for that information.

Perhaps this board can be redeemed.

Well, I guess if I stay off the sauce while posting.
 
How is the FO from that accident doing? God Bless him.
He has been fairly quite, I heard he was out of the hospital, and doing alright. However I can not imagine being him, and having to think about what had happened, and all the people that were killed. Not a position any of us would want to be in.

And lets also have God bless those poor families of the passengers now deceased. Let's remember them by our commitment to safety and being professional as these people trust us with their lives every flight.

Do you know when the last settlement was? I was under the impression as of the March 10, 2009, there was still one lawsuit open. As for the criminal negligence rumor....it's just that....rumor.

All lawsuits were settled as of August 2008.

That's funny right there, I don't care who you are.
 
Whomever hijacked my thread can just start kissing it!!!
 
acarpe, seriously, what is your problem?

Only thing I can think of is you're on of those PO'ed Delta guys that was furloughed after 9/11, and then could not get hired at Comair as a Delta furloughee. If that's the case, let it go man.
 
Acarpe:

Please don't take your anger about your career out on us. As many delta pilots have proved before, that's what your wife is for
 
@acarpe If you post on this thread again you will be gone for good.

Someone please report the post if he does.

Thank you..

Looks like this thread just went from 3 down to 2 pages. I guess the bottom feeder "a carp" could not stop haitin the homey's at OH. How sad.

On the bright side, that means a lot more bandwidth should now be available to FI!!! TBF
 
And just like that... he was gone!:beer:
 
It's sad that people come here just to spread hate. I owe a lot to FI, three jobs and a type rating. So I take it a little personal when we have these trouble makers. Remember you can always report a post, or if you feel the need PM a mod directly.

ENJOY!
