News - Survivor of Ky. crash sues manufacturer

[LandRoverNut]

Come on, the lights were the problem?

Why isn't he suing the FAA guy who turned his back? If you want to make a diversion tactic, that seems better since the FAA at least mentioned it in the report.

Are you an aviation Lawyer? If yes I need to talk to you. If not are you for real or what????????

Don't waste your time looking down on this guy too much. It's a $hitty situation. Lets just hope it never happens to us. I don't like his lawsuit much but I can't get over feeling bad for him enough to criticize him. It just sucks all around. This guy is f***ed for life. Physically, mentally, financially... you name it, this guy is thoroughly destroyed. I give him props for not doing himself in. I think that would be an all too tempting course of action for many people. If you can't handle his misfortune with sympathy then just look away.

Aw, cmon. This guy is obviously trying to make a quick buck so he can live the life of dreams.

Only idiots that have never flown for a living could call this guy out. I am sure this is all part of his master plan. If Comair is anything like Mesaba, the airline will be printing propaganda and telling anyone who will listen longer than 5 seconds that this guy was a rogue pilot and was on their "watch list".

Seriously, this is such a sad story and it seems to get sadder every day. Thoughts and prayers.....

 

[crxpilot]

obviously the best plan would be to let all the lawsuits come out against him as well as medical bills and then declare bankruptcy to wipe the slate clean. that would be the easiest thing to do.

Consumers don't get anywhere near the kinds of generous bankruptcy protections that corporations enjoy.

Plus he needs A LOT of money to pay for the wrongful death lawsuits that he will loose.

"Loose"? As in set in motion? I am not sure I know what you mean. How will he loose a lawsuit? I thought they had already been filed.

 

[capt. megadeth]

I felt really bad for the guy at first. Now I think he's a jacka$$.

Yep, pretty much sums it up for me.

They can't take any money from you if you don't have anything.

You're kidding right? "A quick buck so he can live the life of his dreams?" He has to sue someone....he's the only one alive that anyone can come after legally. Im sure he won't EVER be living "the life of his dreams"
UNBELIEVABLE!

 

[SusieSuperStew]

This thread looks like K-6 grade Aviation! Good thing you guys chose Aviation instead of Law!

 

[Andy Neill]

"Loose" rhymes with "noose", "lose" rhymes with "shoes".

Makes you wonder why lose doesn't rhyme with nose - or why shoes doesn't rhyme with toes or does for that matter.

Sounds like a Gallagher routine, doesn't it?

Wanna bet?

In related news, Michael Vick is suing the guy who invented dogs.......

I think God will win.

 

[WalterSobchak]

I have heard a number around 35-40 suits. If they want us to fly 86 people pay us for the responsability of 90 people NOT50!!!!!!

So, out of curiosity, what exactly is the hourly monetary value of 90 people?

This thread makes me sad. Show a little compassion fellas.

Amen.

Please never let me have to find out if I would have handled it better....

 

[Rez O. Lewshun]

I like the tough bravado talk of pilots on here, including Mega, who have no personal stake in this, have not been effected, and no responsibility, to spout off at the mouth.

When this event happened a year ago, I gave to the ALPA relief fund immediately.... can any of you say that? If so, good for you....

This thread makes me sad. Show a little compassion fellas.

Compassion and empthay are for ones w/ strong character. Indifference and malevolence are for the weak...

 

[siucavflight]

I dont think that he had a choice in suing them. He was being sued by everyone and his attorney probably had to try and deflect the blame.

He was being sarcastic, Suz. You guys actually agree. Now kiss and make up.

Coming from a pansy machismo sexist, I'll take that as a complement. Have fun getting manipulated your entire life by people that seek out your compassion and empathy and use it to their advantage strong bull.

Maybe he should sue the people that planted the trees off the end of the runway too.....
