Lets suppose that you are hired and are in the cockpit of a DAL jet parked on a taxiway somewhere with the parking brake set minding your own business and a "Air Fly by Night" jet comes along and smartly clips your wing.

In such a case a team of salivating lawyers will be bombarding every DAL passenger telling them how they were not only screwed, probably emotionally if not physically injured, and why DAL owes them money. You know the type, the guys with their big smiling faces on billboards along the interstate.

Next this team of piranhas that graciously combines the traits of cunning and over-ambition will delve deeply into the past of both CA and FO looking for anything and I do mean anything that might explain the reason you were audaciously parked exactly were ATC told you to park.

Now considering the legal climate we operate in don't you think it is reasonable the DAL wants to know as much about you as possible?
