As long as you are in law prof mode one immediate issue appears to be the fact that the complaint asks for a jury trial but the FTCA does not provide for jury trials. So I guess the case may have to be split in two. But another possibility appears to be the case may proceed with a jury trial but the jury's decision will only be advisory as regards the government defendants. Speaking of the government defendants is the government obligated to provide a consistent defense or could we see one government lawyer representing the FAA blaming everything on the Army and another government lawyer representing the Army blaming everything on the FAA?
