I was too busy cuddling and cooing with my beautiful newborn infant son to give the dipsh*t guy anymore of my thought or energy. :) |

Well, his error did harm them, and that responsibility is exactly why everyone here complains that they are not paid enough.
I'm not a fan of lawyers, but it drives home the responsibilities in the profession. Despite what you say here, if a MD made an error that killed a relative of yours, how would you REALLY chalk that up? Spongebob Well, is the MD brain damaged and without a leg too? It's not the same thing. The guy was on the plane too and his life will never be the same. Anyone that personally sues him IMO has no soul. |

Well put. I second that. If one of my kids were on board, I would want blood as well. After all, It was a stupid mistake that they made.
HMP, I gotta say, you are either a guy saying you are a woman to make us ladies look stupid or you are a woman that makes someone like me look bad. Thanks. |

My sentiments exactly. If they want a pound of flesh from Jim Polhinke they should just go to the UK Hospital and take a piece of his amputated leg. :mad:

Instead of turning onto the runway for commercial flights, it took off from the runway meant for smaller planes."
I think my blood presure just doubled. God ******ing damn lawyers and the greed they stand for. These degenerate money lovers want to personally harrass a man whose body is permanently mangled. I have strong suspicion most personal injury lawyers are going to hell. |

How would you feel if you were the FO or capt. on that SWA airplane that went through the fence at MDW last year and killed the little boy? Would you be prepared just to hand over everything you have acquired in your life to their family because you made a mistake? It might have been a stupid mistake, but are you telling me you have never made a mistake in an airplane that could have potentially crashed the airplane if the circumstances were right? I think we all have. My point is is the guy WAS ON THE AIRPLANE, IS DAMAGED FOR LIFE and that is not enough for these people! They want money! Pathetic.
HMP, I gotta say, you are either a guy saying you are a woman to make us ladies look stupid or you are a woman that makes someone like me look bad. Thanks. |

The SWA accident and the car wrecks all have/had ONE thing in common......they were ACCIDENTS. Taking off on a runway with no lights, however, (IMHO) is NO accident. WOuld I have been upset if it were my child at 55th and central that night? Or in any car wreck anywhere? ABSOLUTELY. But I would have solace knowing that it was indeed an accident. Now, on the other hand, if my kid died because of haste and complacency(i.e taking off on a rwy with no lights), you bet I'd be pi$$ed. People rip on lawyers, but they are necessary and may help you too someday.

The bottom line is that any of us could have had that happen to them. If you say no way, you are lying to yourself. Especially, I say ESPECIALLY, flying night freight. I remember as an engineer going into PHL about a year ago after flying all night and I was so tired all I could think was "if all 3 light up (fire) right now, I could care less". THAT'S how tired I was. So, if you think you would never make a mistake that could be Monday morning quarterbacked as foolish, you are exactly the person that scares me.
