C-152 - maybe in America and are you 100% certain it wouldn't happen even then?
No, I wouldn't say 100%..But with people being law-suit happy in this country the airlines will think twice...thrice...before they say anything that would hurt someone's chances of getting a job.
Didn't some idiot just sued the dry-cleaners 54 Million USD over a lost pair of pants? Of course he didn't win but just think how big the lawsuit will be if someone loses out on a job that pays him 10+million dollars over a career?
Like I said, most airlines wouldn't take on that kind of liabilities, they LET IT GO, even if one was a bad apple.
Letting go: Something Cathay Pacific has not being able to do.
