[Grandpa +65]

Payments to passengers after accidents are common and have not precluded passengers from filing lawsuits

Ok, I owe him a beer now. A truly ballsy SOB..

Is that true? I've heard he had dinner with his crew in D.C. - seems odd he wouldn't attend the inauguration. Who knows.

Who knows what was going on. Bottom line, the guy has probably been to busy with the FAA, NTSB, and the like. He's probably been away from his family for too long and has other higher priorities.

Seriously, if you had just been through something like that would you really care about sitting in 15 degree weather for an innauguration- I'd rather be with my family after an accident.

I heard USAPA had taken him out for dinner in their van. Anything Sonic had on the menu, on us!

Actually just flew with a dude who knows a chick that knows a dude who robbed a dude that said there was some 4legged creatures in the pit.

Speaking of fur, anyone else notice the amount of fur coats that the pax going into D.C. for the inaguration were wearing?

He was there. CNN showed him briefly after the inauguration ceremony was over and everyone was being dismissed.

Are you asking if they survived or are they also getting $5000 each?

Metrojet
P.S. - I believe all onboard (including carry on pets) survived.
