Well exbengal and RussD, it's unfortunate that you are incapable of reading what people actually say. I did not EVER comment on the merits of the lawsuit. I ONLY commented on the legitimacy of the rants I've heard for years that you would gladly punish the innocent wives and children of your adversaries, if that's what it took to get your pound of flesh.
God forbid, but should you ever perish in an aircraft accident where you were found to be at fault, how would you feel when the victims lawyers went after your wives and children for their pound of flesh when, like the AC families in your case, yours' had no hand in what actually took place? If you honestly feel that would be okay, then I suggest you speak to your union immediately to ensure that they will pick up the tab.
