Maybe. This case is in initial discovery in US District Court and the plaintiffs are represented by a major national personal injury law firm. It's more likely than not that the lawyers are handling it on a contingency basis (unless the two FAs have more money than most do) and firms like this one don't take risks like suing SWA without carefully evaluating a case. Furthermore, they know how risky it can be for attorneys to attempt to prosecute frivolous cases, especially when they get moved to federal courts.
I wouldn't assume that there's no basis for this lawsuit.
