When I posted yesterday, I was NOT making any comments on the ethics of any possible litigation.

I posted because I was concerned with some of the callous and ignorant remarks made in relation to PTSD. (so to posters like Rottenray, please don't quote me out of context).

Comments such as:

The fact they are still able to spend time on this earth and be able to see their family and friends to help them through the "trauma" should compensation enough!
(the flight would have been only 3 or 4 mins long) but is that enough to cause long term damage? If so, eat a bag of cement and harden up.
Ungrateful bastards
are pretty p1ss poor, and highlight the ignorance and lack of compassion of the poster, IMHO.


Cwatters, I might have not expressed myself well with my
How is $5000.00 going to cover that?
It was not meant to mean that I supported any litigation. It was in response to a post by aviators_anonymous who (I thought) implied that PTSD was simple, quick and cheap to treat.

DIVOSH!
