I suspect they also had doubts whether this would lead to an appropriate discussion on improvements, if taken to an European court. A biased jurisdiction does no good for intelligence transparency.
I specialised in aviation accident cases for some decades. Given the international nature of aviation it was essential to be aware of the law and decisions in cases in other jurisdictions around the world. I also worked alongside lawyers in other jurisdictions from time to time.
I never experienced/read/heard anything that would support your uninformed suggestion of bias or lack of transparency.
The position might be different in jurisdictions with totalitarian regimes. I am not in a position to make an informed comment.
There are some differences in law between jurisdictions but by far the most significant difference is that awards of damages are typically considerably higher (sometimes astronomical) in some jurisdictions when compared with the rest of the world.
So, I strongly belief this US lawsuit is aimed to make things better
If you believe that 'making things better'/making aviation safer is a consideration for lawyers when engaged in litigation, you are very naive - whatever some lawyers may claim in their
PR spiel and statements to the media.
