Mister Guty,

Yes, there was a reversal… THIS time. Even so, it cost the defendant hundreds of thousands of dollars, in a case where they were clearly not in the wrong to begin with.

But then, it’s only a large, evil corporation, and they desreve it, eh? So all of your posts that I’ve seen (so far) seem to assume.

Will anyone read about this reversal or will everyone just remember the silly articles that were written about the case after it first happened? Gee…I guess our legal system gets it right after all sometimes…

For fun, I read the opinion. One has to wonder if the District Court judge simply favors all Plaintiffs in 1981 actions? They exist – unfortunately.

This one wasn’t even close. Unfortunately, AA had to spend hundreds of thousands to defend this piece of garbage and that fact will make airlines and pilots reluctant to act in the best interests of public safety. Cases like this, no matter the outcome, threaten our own security for the cause of collectivism.
