PTSD
Follow up care and support for someone experiencing a traumatic event and suing are totally different things. FTSD does not get cured by a pocket full of cash. I'm told the support these guys have received has been excellent.
I'm sure they did get the s@#t scared out of them but I don't think that's grounds for a financial gain unless they have suffered some form of injury or trauma that actually prevents them from continueing their employment, which I believe is not the case here. Unless there was some kind of cover up of a known faulty design from Airbus/Northrop, which has not been suggested, then this only harms our industry.
Still, I'm yet to be convinced that the pilots are actually involved in this case as I certainly don't believe the word of some ambulance chasing parasite. I hope they're not.
