"I got news from my sources in ATO that PAL will demand that the Capt of this A320 damaged beyond repair in BXU pay the cost of the plane. Unbelievable!!! "
Let's see... Let's be really, really generous and figure that the Captain's share of the damages amounts to a paltry $5M. Assuming PAL pays its pilots around $5000 per month, The captain should be able to pay it all back in... oh, about 83 YEARS. Assuming, of course, that he lives in a cave and DOESN'T EAT.
