It was tragic and horrible and an accident. Some posted about how everyone gets named in a suit and they are right. You can't get anything from an empty wallet. Best he can do is protect his assets and let the big companys fight it out. When I heard he survived I had to think pretty hard about whether I would of wanted too.
the fact that it was pilot error isn't being debated I think... it's the tone towards this unfortunate accident, and the attempt to pin it on RJ pilots that is not fiar. Delta took off with no flaps on a 727 back in the early 80s I believe.. does that make Delta pilots inferior? Hardly..
