1. There is ONE pilot and ONE helper. No matter who's screw up it was, blame will go to the PIC.

2. Doesn't matter what the attorney knows or doesn't know. It's about $$. He will build a case to convince a jury (you can safely bet that ANY pilot will be excluded therefrom) that this is SOMEBODY's (with deep pockets) fault and they should be made to pay for there intentional willingness to kill these people.

Then why is the FO of the ComAir accident being taken for all he's worth?

all of it is bu!!$h!t and greed

I could say something about this situation, but I'd probably get suspended...

He's the only one left alive.

Agreed.

Me too... So I'll refraim as well.

 

[spudskier]

That's never stopped them from suing the family of a deceased pilot before... I'm sure they'll go after the families of the deceased pilots in this case too, just give it a lil time

Q: How long does it take a jewish person to get to court?

A: Less than a month.

 

[regionaltard]

They might as well sue spoons for making Rosie O'Donnell fat while they're at it.

Hookbills!!!!

Everyone.

A few things:

Autopilots in icing: Does anyone remember Eagle in Roselawn or Comair in DET? Fact of the matter is, it has been so long since anyone flew turboprops (and thus actually flew) some of these lessons have been forgotten. What's that saying about those who fail to remember the past are....? Ice detectors and automatic anti ice have created an entire generation of scary, lookin out the window, not even aware of how much shiat you are in pilots.

IF IF IF IF IF (did you notice I said IF?) it turns out that someone pulled when the pusher pushed in a stall......... this equals PILOT ERROR. Live with it and learn from it.

Don't kid yourselves, if it was one of your family members, you would be the first in line at this corksuckers door wanting a pound of flesh and willing to testify what an idiot that guy was.

I'm sure that the FO on 5191 was named as a defendant in the lawsuits. I cannot, however, find anything that says that he is being held accountable outside of the usual umbrella of protection that comes from being an employee of the carrier. If anyone has any information showing that this guy actually paid money out of his own pocket for the accident, provide it and I will become more outraged.

If we want to collect our fortunes, we must own our failures.

 

[relief tube]

hell, lets sue mother nature for making the ice.

Everything was followed by FAA standards, you can't sue the pilots for being underqualified when the FAA says they are. You can't sue the manufacturer for making a plane that the FAA says is fine.

The legal system in this country should not even allow ridiculous lawsuits like this.

I've got this one figured out. Her family (and probably the attorney as well) lost everything with Madoff and now they are sueing to try to make some of it back.

As far as the a/c design, all I can tell you is a Q200 will load up with ice like a popsicle and still maintain reasonable flying qualities. I doubt the Q400 was significantly under-engineered compared to the 200.

But attorney Ronald Goldman of the firm that filed the lawsuit called the plane's deicing system antiquated. The system includes strips of rubber-like material on the wings and tail that expand to break up ice, then contract and expand again to break up new ice.
"It's a system that cannot guarantee the safety of passengers on a commercial flight," Goldman said by phone Friday. "It should never be flown in these kinds of conditions."

What then, hot wings for all turboprops? Yeah, good luck with that.

Yeah hot wings for turboprops. The engines are too small for hotwings...all that would happen in a turboprop is the ice will be heated just enough to run back aft of the protected surface.

This jerk is probably already planning for his next lawsuit...the one with the airplane that the manufacturer should have known that a hot-wing setup would be inadequate.

How about the pilots push the thrust off when on autopilot after leveling off from a decent, sound like that would have helped to prevent this accident. Just saying.
