As well as the maimed and the families of the dead. If the pilots were not legal to fly (no matter that some dismiss it as trivial paperwork) then there may arise issues of personal liability for the pain, suffering, loss and ongoing care for anyone who was disabled. Much will depend on the jurisdiction and whether insurers are willing to overlook what some regard as technicalities. But insurers rarely pay out what could be huge settlements if there were wrongful acts or omissions unless that coverage was purchased. Signed waivers may not be valid in such circumstances.
