The pilot who is sueing (sic) Virgin is 57 years old (sounds like he is about to retire and is trying to get as much money from the company as possible)
So age is now the deciding factor in deciding the worth of a claim. Unbelievable!
Has anyone noticed that the incident occurred in 2009 and the ipad didn't come out until 2010...
With or without the iPad, Virgin (and by the sounds of it Qantas) were already well aware of the risks associated with the increasing Nav bag weights.
Ships libraries were being discussed well before this incident.
If you wish to base you 'learned decision' on what has been written in a newspaper prior to the case being heard then more fool you.

Once again it's wonderful to see Aussie pilots supporting one another, not
Alas very few take a moment to walk in the shoes of another!
