A/c eating concrete has a very swift impact on management thinking, and as it is a national policy being attacked, the government will have to explain.
No they won't. Said government will pin it on the pilots who, having ended up as part of the smoking hole, won't be in a position to defend themselves.
The one hope would be for some rich American to be on board, whose family then decides to mount their own litigation. But then the powers-that-be will probably settle on the court steps and get a non-discussion clause.
