I can only imagine the repercussions if esteemed counsel for the diverting captain comes to realize US nationals (pax and/or crew) may have been involved, may have incurred damages, the incidents all allegedly occurred on US soil, and the matter as such might potentially be adjudicated in a US court with these individual’s assistance. Not to mention the involvement of regulatory agencies there if this thing escalated.
I think perhaps it might be wise for the company to reach out to the aggrieved captain and find a way to amicably solve their differences before plaintiff’s lawyer might go down this road. The fact she initiated legal action to me indicates she felt there was no other way to justly solve the issue.
