Here is a link to a presentation referred to in par. 100 of the complaint. This presentation was given by Kippenberg, CEO of ATCA, at a NTSB safety forum in 2010.

http://www.ntsb.gov/news/events/docu...lism-Forum.pdf

Par. 101 of the complaint then goes on to state:

"ATCA has acknowledged its duty to carefully select and screen its student pilot candidates ..."

Except that , from what I can tell from the presentation, ATCA does not select or screen student pilot candidates - it is done by Lufthansa. Page 6 of the presentation talks about "The Lufthansa Selection Process". There is a huge disconnect between the presentation and the complaint. Since the selection process and ATCA's alleged failures in that process are the core foundation of the lawsuit, the whole complaint makes no sense. The wrong defendant is in court.
