It appears that all 155 passenger of US Airways 1549 will recieve $5000.00 each for the loss of their belongings as well as a full refund for the price paid on the airfare. I am intrigued as to the sentiment of those on this form regarding the quick payment of funds to passengers. Especially considering it was an accident caused by birds and successfully saved by the flightcrew. Is this action an attempt to keep the lawyers at bay?
