Lawsuit Implications
Without specific reference to this current accident case, as a general question (which I am sure you will tell me is a naive one but here goes anyway!), are the crew of an aircraft involved in an accident not covered by their employers indemnity insurance from any potential lawsuit? I thought that was the whole purpose of liability insurance for AOC operators.
Surely any lawsuit would be against the company and not the individuals??
I realise there are nominated post holders as part of an AOC requirement but again, there would be liability insurance would there not? A member of the crew is not a nominated post holder.
I would be interested to hear of your experience of this.
My thoughts and prayers are for those left behind who have lost loved ones, friends, and work colleagues in this regrettable accident
