AA/PSA Pilots
- Failed to respond to traffic alert 19 sec before collision
- Accepted visual approach to runway 33
Website of the Clifford Law Office in connection with the press event today has posted the Complaint. Notably, the Kreindler & Kreindler law firm also is on the Complaint (these two firms are massive heavy hitters - nobody asked for my view I realize - I'm not familiar with a third firm also listed).
Perhaps this SLF/attorney should "do the reading" ...... I am quite curious whether, and if so how, these preeminent aviation accident litigators have dealt with the discretionary function exception to the statutory waiver of federal government sovereign immunity.
Edit: case number is 1:25 -cv-03382 (United States District Court for the District of Columbia)
