Gonna be tough to win if he got hurt in December of 2009 and the first iPad wasn't released until April of 2010.

Time travel?

You gotta love factual journalism.

He put his back out swinging his bag into place on the 73 cockpit and he's been out on medical since then. The reason this is making news now, is that he has 3 years to sue for further loss off income, due to an injury sustained at work.

Dont know him but apparently it has been extremely painful and debilitating.

Virgin is actually in the process of working out how getting us iPads would work. After this, it might be a little quicker.

Whats next...I hurt my back carrying my suitcase of clothes for my trip. Now if my airline allowed me to fly naked I would not have to carry all of this stuff...I'm suing.

But I can understand where he is coming from....he can't work and has to put food on the table.

Delta cp told me once that you wouldn't believe the amount of guys out for pulling their back lifting their luggage.

I want my own personal porter, they can meet us at the jetway after every days flying. It wouldn't be that hard for them to meet us with a cold frosty adult beverage, and for the walk around specialist an umbrella with a rickshaw ride for the walk around. He/she could hold the flashlight and aim it where directed. I imagine that potentially we could use TSA blue bellies to start as porters.

I didn't sue anybody, but I've been out on OJI for messing up my shoulder with the flight bag. When I should my PT guy the arrangement in the cockpit and brought my flight case in he was at a loss for words as to how terrible it was for a human body.
