  • Put that man on a 737-MAX that duplicates the flight and crash. Let's see how calm and collected he is when its avionics argue with itself and start the plunge.

    I knew there was a reason I hated corporate laywers.
  • Wow... At least Ford didn't intend to let the Pinto memo get out. This is just flat out advertising that you're an evil company.

  • If we loosened liability regulations, they'd do the right thing of their own free will. It's the regulations that are causing them to do this. Maybe throw on some tax cuts for good measure.

    Actually I think if we had single payer Healthcare, UBI, and affordable housing.  I think lawsuits would be cut in half.  Most people sue because they have no other recourse.

    Denny Crane the value of life. And Shatner shows his chops.
  • Lawyer kind of has a point. Wrongful death is different than pain and suffering, which is about damage caused by an injury, not a scary few seconds pre-injury. Allowing it would set some interesting precedents.

    Could you now, for instance, sue someone who cut you off on the highway for P&S because you thoughtyou might have an accident, even though you swerved and recovered your vehicle out of danger with no ill effect?

    But we let cops kill people out of a fear.
  • Memo to the Boeing lawyers: the pain and suffering isn't the pain and suffering of the people who died, it is the pain and suffering of the families of the people who died in the crash your employers caused by their ignoring the advice of the engineers who said that making those changes to the 737 required an FAA-mandated update to the qualifications on how to operate the airplane, which would require an update on training on how to operate the airplane, which your employers would have to pay for. Which is what you should have advised your employers to take into consideration.
  • Under Florida's Stand Your Ground law, the passengers could have said that they feared for their lives, then stormed the cockpit, and killed the flight crew.  That would've fixed everything.
  • Back in the 90's I saw a Brian McBride video where his plane was pummeling toward the ground & he had time to use the old seat phones to call his girlfriend & sing her an entire song. It was a sweet & touching moment. So how bad could it really be?
  • Boeing's stellar reputation might take a hit if this gets traction.
  • sounds like a cogent argument to me
  • At first I was like gee that kind of makes sense. But then I remember the legal phrases often don't mean what they state for instance presumption of innocence has nothing to do with innocence, there's no finding of innocence on the first go round anyway. So I Googled

    Pain and suffering refers to the physical discomfort and emotional distress that are compensable as non-economic damages. It refers to the pain, discomfort, anguish, inconvenience, and emotional trauma that accompanies an injury.

    No, just drag him out of his offices and beat his face until unrecognizable, like other civilized societies.

    Right! But also notice no one on that plane had a gun... And they -all- died? Quite a coincidence that the kill rate is 100% without a good guy with a gun to help.

  • I guess the argument is injury and death was simultaneous so never mind
