And you would be upset at the company or airport or whoever's job it is to not realize that launching two planes so close would leave the pilot no room to maneuver when a big flock of migrating geese come through. nevermind if this is the case then the airline was at fault and deserves to be sued | ||

That could be traumatic also but you cant go around demanding money just because your life dont run perfect, shit happens in life and its dangerous to live. If you sign a contract for safe transportation and it isn't met, then yes it's totally acceptable. You don't write a contract with yourself when you go driving, but if you hired a limo service and it happened, you probably could. I also like the morons writing "typical Americans," whose posts none of us actually recognize, probably because they've never said anything worth reading before. 3 people out of 150 are complaining. You're extrapolating >50% of Americans are like this, because 2% of a plane flight is upset. Way to go, retards. EDIT: And you're citing information based on a NY Post article. Again, fail. | ||

They should put up "unforeseen shit happens disclaimers" and all of you who expects money if something crazy happens can start walking around if you aint happy with it. You cant expect compensation for unforeseen things none have control over... edit : From the company im talking about, compensation from insurance companies or the government if you are serious injured is something else. If they are guaranteeing your safety, they cant shield behind some "unforeseen shit happened" argument. No matter how ridiculous you try to make your examples, most can be predicted with a pretty good timeline, for example, bird crashing into your windshield will be more common when their mating season begins, so there should be a sign to drive fucking slower. Also, its not some fucked up mentality, maybe you who are in your ~20 years may react totally rational, decide its no ones fault. But some 60 year old wont react the same, some 40 year old woman with a 10 year old child will definitely not react the same. | ||

Maybe that's what their crew are targeting? | ||

Exactly, it didn't happen ^^ Maybe this could happen to a silent weather monitoring plane, but not a big passenger plane. | ||

Maybe in Australia it is custom to high five after a plane crash and call it good but in America we expect some kind of compensation when our lives are unnecessarily endangered. They were compensated but 8k$ and a temporary upgrade is a bit low.. especially when people are suing for millions over spilled hot coffee  "In America, we expect to profit over non-fault accidents!" Maybe you can look at ridiculous precedents as an excuse, but it's more fun to look at them as a symptom of the larger problem. | ||

Anyone who cares more about where they wanted to go in the first place :O It depends how traumatized someone would feel after an accident. Shit happens all the time though, it's not like anyone gets on a plane thinking it's 100% safe... and if they do they're fools. It's safer than getting in a car, statistically, but it's not safe in general. If a flock of deaf geese ran into the paper plane I happened to be riding one day and I lived, I'd just think it was a really good story to get pity from girls. Take the 8k and get on with my life It's not the best way to make 8k, but if I knew I was gonna live (and not be permanently injured)... why not. There are worse things to do for money.You accept the risk when you do things, I think is what everyone apposed to the idea of suing is saying in this thread. | ||

I wonder how many people react with "I am lucky to survive a plane crash - sure don't want to risk that again" and how many people say "I survived a plane crash - I am INVINCIBLE". Probably much more with the former. Fuckin' pessimists ;-) | ||

"My husband is not going to want to get on a plane for at least a year," passenger Tess Sosa told The New York Post." The fact they only get an upgrade for 1 year is ludicrous, maybe they don't deserve permanent upgrades but 1 fucking year? half the people probably never want to fly for awhile, and when they do their upgrade won't be valid. | ||
