The airline shouldn't be to blame for this. | ||

If they are going to do retarded things like launch improperly and leave themselves no room when geese decide to suicide bomb the plane and force the plane to crash I am going to expect them to pay me lots of money to make the problem less of a problem. Fucking nyoken is terrified of flying to this day because one time a passenger sitting next to him started freaking out and crying n shit.. imagine the hundred or so nyoken's a plane crash would create. The system expects the guilty party (company) to compensate those they endangered. | ||

Correct me if I am wrong and its different in the US, but here the airplane companies don`t decide when they launch. The flight coordinators (not sure of the English word, the guys in the tower at the airport) directs all the traffic at the airport and decides when and where planes take off and land, so no the company who you flew with would not be responsible for this but the airport itself. | ||

Well, as someone who travels 100% for their job, I can tell you that no airline frustrates me more than their bullshit. They are called USairways but most of their planes are not Boeing planes, which pisses me off slightly more because Boeing is about 20 miles from my house (I am a Washington resident) They also charge RIDICULOUS FEES!!!! 1st bag check: $15 2nd bag check:$25 Alcohol: $7 (per drink) Water $2 They also have a nice set of fees they pass on such as the fuel fee, 911 fee and other fees not mandated to pass on to their customers, but of course they do anyway. USAirways will nickle and dime the shit out of you, and the people who are forced to fly their bullshit want payback.... I hope they cripple that company, I truly do, if for no other reason than those fucking faggots wont give me a bottle of water when my credit card doesn't work. I of course am not a biggot and dont take it out on Flight Attendants, but nonetheless, HOW THE FUCK DO YOU CHARGE FOR WATER IN AMERICA? In most states, whether you know this or not, it is illegal to run a business such as a venue, grocery store, and other types of retail environments with not having a FREE water supply, thus the Airlines shouldn't be able to dodge that bullet. As for the "typical American" comments, a lot of "ridiculous suits" are the result in a never ending bureaucracy that most Americans have to face EVERYDAY. If it doesn't have 8 miles of Red Tape.... its not American. I tell you when I was in Australia I felt a lot more laid back, but people in America are tired of that kind of typical bullshit treatment being lumped in a category and being told what they are going to get, and this is what our POLICY is.... a bunch of bullshit that is..... even though these are crash victims, they still have to go through the same bullshit In a way, if they end up getting more out of USAirways, it will make me more of a patriotic American. If any of you followed This story, you would know that a lot of bullshit suits do get beat down, and people get what they deserve. Sure sometimes there are cases of hot coffee suits, but for good reason, it keeps companies on their toes about safety (albeit ridiculous sometimes) they need to have a LITTLE concern for their consumers, after all, can't kill the people who buy your product, or turn them against you..... All in all, USAirways are not offering a good enough package for the victims, The patrons who nearly lost their lives are now being bought off with chump change and 1 year long flight vouchers, which mind you, have a shitload of red tape to use in the first place (I.E. NO ONLINE BOOKING) is a bunch of bullshit and is an insult! May this be a biased view, but I am sick of bullshit like this, and in all honesty, I was hoping USAirways would go down because of the shitty way they do business on the whole, but this event to me, is karma to the airline, and I hope those passengers take every penny! Flame me bitches...... EDIT: P.S. It was the airlines//Airports fault.... not enough measures were taken to keep birds away, I know at Seatac we have HUGE assault measures against birds as well as satellite defenses and other ways of keeping them under control, because it is a BIG DEAL | ||

Don't judge off of some forum post or a news article. And in this thread I think we've been under emphasizing what actually being in a plane crash is like, especially when other companies in the industry have measures to prevent crashes like this one. | ||
