Hi Shawn
I wouldn't even consider asking TC, as a lowly PAX/SLF I just trust that they do their job properly and that suitable safeguard/compliance procedures are in place via adherence to the respective standards. Sadly in this case and IMHO they did not, neither did SAC.
I'll leave it to the professionals who really know their stuff to take them to court in an attempt to prevent such a similar event happening in the future. I am still hopeful that this will happen albeit not as quickly as I would like to see.
Safe flying
Max
