The US legal system does seem somewhat bizarre at times.
The UK equivalent would be to say that they owed a “
Duty of Care” to him, and given his appalling airline training record ( treat him as ‘Egg shells’ ) his prospects of a career as as airline pilot should have been brought to an end. By whom and when...? Hindsight is a wonderful thing.
Using the US legal logic, I would have thought the family lawyers would also take aim at the flight school(s) who allowed him to progress and achieve his CPL/IR.
Perhaps even at the FAA and the examiner as well for licence issue?
His flight school training records will be very revealing; of that I am certain.
