Default I like McDonald's Coffee HOT!

This thread is rife with speculation, and emotionally driven responses.
Some of the comments are despicable.
If I had a relative or friend on this flight described as "a piece of trash" like someone here did, well...
The original article does not support a widespread condemnation of the passengers involved in this incident.

The American legal and justice system has some problems, but it's better than the alternatives provided by some other countries by far.

You must have seen the news that week. According to the media, the passengers, the witnesses, the Geese, the Mayor of NYC, and the Governor of NY state, "the pilot" was the hero and the other guy remains mostly nameless.

I'm just doing as 84% of the American people do and quote the media line as fact.

This thread has gone on long enough with rampant speculation based on very little concrete information. As a lawyer, I know that there are bad lawyers out there, but it is offensive to paint the entire profession as greedy and unethical. It would be akin to someone saying that all pilots are wife beaters based on that Delta pilot who was arrested, or that all pilots are pedophiles because of that Mesaba pilot in Houston.

There is no question this country is most litigious. That's the system we have now. If you don't like it, do something to change it, instead of spewing idiocy on the internet. APC is here to provide a venue for all of us to help each other. People adding their biased and uninformed opinions don't really do much except fuel more ignorant misconceptions.
