Does anyone else find it ironic that these people want a permanent upgrade, when they just narrowly avoided a permanent downgrade (death)? It's one thing to ask for compensation for medical/psychological bills caused by this incident that weren't covered with the 8000$ but asking for a permanent upgrade for future flights? It's not only illogical to assume the airline owes you anything other than damages immediately caused to you, which in all reality wasn't even their fault, but it seems like a slap in the face of the airline considering that they were offering a token of goodwill to the unfortunate participants of an extremely unusual incident only to be rebuked in what appears to be a rude manner.

edit: grammar

Americans are known for trying to sue for everything cmon guys some of you even said you would sue yourself "easy money". In Australia we have legislation today where we cant sue even if it is appropriate as a reactionary response to American sue excesses....(also corruption :\)

Wtf. Free upgrade for the rest of their lives? That is fucking greedy tbh.

If it was the airline's fault in any way, then fine, I could understand a lot more.. But.. it was fucking birds. Inc, makes a good point about people being able to claim millions over spilt coffee. But just because a spasticated precedent exists doesn't mean it should be followed...

Does it actually say "as a reactionary response to American sue excesses" in the legislation? If it does.... that's kind of sad. In Canada we have nothing like that, although it is different, and people often confuse our legal system with the Americans. Our torts are never nearly as generous.

In Canada we have nothing like that,
Yes we do. Andrews case trio which set out rules on quantum of damages for torts claims set a maximum value, at 100,000$ in 1971 (74? don't remember), adjusted upward for inflation.
The number you have dialed is out of porkchops.

I think we are all approaching this the wrong way.
What did the pilot get for being such a badass?
They should write him an 8k check for every life he saved.

I meant there is nothing in our precedents or legislation that says "because of American suing excess."

People will always be looking for ways to get some free money. I'm currently trying to figure out a way to sue TL for brain trauma, from the MIND MELTING FINAL EDITS.

I agree that they are selfish. The airline did nothing wrong, but still gave these people thousands of dollars and their response is, "That's not enough."

They survive a crash, get $8000 and a free upgrade and still complaining.

Typical American.



haha, this is a joke, right? a not-so-subtle troll!

Well, you can't deny that its typical for americans to sue the shit out of everyone, and trying to get money out of everythign really.

Of course they somewhat deserve it since they could even have died and they probably will have some sort of flight phobia now >_<
