"I am saying is that at least Aeroflot is flying newer aircraft compared to these other operators. They are changing for the better.
As for being late.... Anyway why would you even bother to "sue" such big companies in RUSSIA?!? Ты че мужик? Нюх потерял?"
It's funny how this comment illustrates yet again the yawning gap between your reality & those lying, twisting corporate entities.
The fact is, a company is a company.
This nonsense from Medvedev (as per usual) blaming old aircraft for the high accident rates, was as we all know complete total b..llox.
In reality the old TU154 variants, are/were known for an excellent safety record, and only replaced for lack of space and high fuel costs, while the vast majority of fatal accidents, Red WingsFlight 9268, S7-Irkutsk, AFL, Utair-Tyumen, Sukhoi SSJ-100-95 etc, were invariably down to brand new modern aircraft, pilot error, CRM, a culture of poor safety or mixtures of all at once.
As for the laws,- You should be entitled to AT LEAST the minimum of what (weak) Russian law says is your rights.
The mere fact someone turns to sue AFL, is the start of what actually made consumer protection law in the rest of the world what it is today.
Using your attitude as an example the EU commission would never have lobbied for changes in the law for mobile phone roaming or penalties for lengthy delays for airlines throughout the EU. (for example).
EU - Air passenger rights - Your Europe
I have a problem with people who just sit back, do nothing and remain aloof and complacent.
The fact is just ONE woman attacked AFL for the loss of her daughter on SU821.
She got awarded 7.7m roubles.
The others represented by your post would have just sat around saying..."oh well we just accept the 2m offered" (which is not even enough to buy an average flat), and that is that.
It was in fact the same in France over the terrible Mont St Odile ordeal, EADS and AF.
The fact is, if people stuck up for their rights in Russia (and the EU even), sued those abusive companies EN MASSE, the sheer quantity of litigation would make those companies lose so much money they would be forced to change.
QED.
