    US Air sends 5K to each passenger involved in the crash.

    This was pretty fast on their part, each passenger also gets reimbursed for the fare

    You just know that won't be enough for some of those passengers. In this sue happy country there will be some million dollar lawsuits coming soon. Greed and stupidity seems to be the order of the day, and ridiculous lawsuits has become a way of life.

            Hopefully they won't be bright enough to read the "if you cash this, that's it" clause on the check until after they've spent it all at walmart.

                i'd love to say good show on part of the airline, but that is bullshit. it is a sue happy world, and all that is happening is that they are throwing some quick settlement money out there in hopes of avoiding any real lawsuits.

                    they have insurance which covers them for much more than that, but i am not sure if they could prove any injuries, perhaps mental pain and agony type stuff.. but i am sure a lot of the PAX will take the 5k.

                      $5000 isn't enough for some, since they might have had jewelry and expensive clothes. Plus the time and effort required to re buy everything.

                      Atleast it is something though.

                        Well of course. They're not just throwing money off a roof top.

                                  If you fly US Air you don't have $5K worth of clothes and jewelry on.

                                      I agree with you and him in general, but not in this case

                                      IMO suing McDonalds for $1M because the coffee was too hot is pathetic

                                      but I don't see anything wrong in asking for more than $5k for being involved in a plane crash
                                      I don't use ICQ anymore.

                                        They are alive + getting 5k That's more then enough IMHO.

                                        I wonder by law if they approve the 5k and cash the check if they can sue for more money as well.

                                            I agree they deserve more than $5,000 but not the millions they will more than likely go after.

                                              yeah, but i bet there is a little clause on the back of the check that says "by cashing this check, you agree not to sue us"

                                              many people will take the cash over waiting months for a lawsuit i bet

                                                  That wont stop the coming lawsuits, since the plane was involved in an incident 2 days before the crash.

                                                          A flock of birds hits the plane and knocks it out. US Air had one helluva pilot on that plane who landed it and made sure everyone was out before he got out of there. If I was a passenger on that plane I would be happy just to be reimbursed for any expenses I incurred including lost items. I just don't get why some people in this country cannot be ok without pointing fingers and making other people accountable for things out of their control or that are just simply, no fault accidents.

                                                              Pretty sure there's a disclosure when you fly about birds and shit, not really the airlines fault so suing them seems stupid.

The fact that it was no ones fault and that the pilot was so skilled as to save all of their lives is enough. Why the hell should the airline PAY them for saving their lives? It makes no sense. The only people that really win are the lawyers, and all the rest of us are the ones that pay in increased fares.

                                                                                obama talks about change and people taking responsibility - start with the ABA and tear apart the legal system. too many fucking lawyers not adding anything to society, parasites, worse than an adult webmaster that's for sure. at least we produce something.

US Air had one helluva pilot on that plane who landed it and made sure everyone was out before he got out of there. If I was a passenger on that plane I would be happy just to be reimbursed for any expenses I incurred including lost items. I just don't get why some people in this country cannot be ok without pointing fingers and making other people accountable for things out of their control or that are just simply, no fault accidents.


                                                                                  Just what I was thinking, too.

                                                                                  It wasn't the airline's fault the plane flew into a flock of birds. The passengers should thank their lucky stars they had a great pilot who pulled off a heroic water landing.

                                                                                  Sure, reimburse them for their lost possessions and airfare - maybe throw in a little extra as a goodwill gesture.

                                                                                  I think $5k each was generous on the part of the airline...given the circumstances. Only assholes would pursue an additional lawsuit.

                                                                                            It wasn't the airline's fault the plane flew into a flock of birds. The passengers should thank their lucky stars they had a great pilot who pulled off a heroic water landing.

                                                                                            Sure, reimburse them for their lost possessions and airfare - maybe throw in a little extra as a goodwill gesture.

                                                                                            I think $5k each was generous on the part of the airline...given the circumstances. Only assholes would pursue an additional lawsuit.

In this sue happy country there will be some million dollar lawsuits coming soon. Greed and stupidity seems to be the order of the day, and ridiculous lawsuits has become a way of life.
