If you can get a hold of the SIR - and why it's not briefed annually to nuggets I'll never know - it makes for some "holy shit" reading.
Why it's not briefed to MMCPOs, MMCOs, QAOs, etc on a quarterly basis.... Think what you want, but that event does not occur if the stud is NORDO. I think that's vague enough to post here - Mods, if I'm wrong please remove the last sentence.
$17M. I think the judge was overly generous. From reading the responses from the survivors- I think deep down they think the same. I think it's terribly sad that this accident occurred and that's exactly what it was- an accident. The attorneys are the parasites in our society that feed off of others misfortune and are the ones driving these large settlements. They also have a vested interest in making sure this financial gravy train continues.
As a country we can't fiscally continue down this road. I feel for the survivors but no amount of money can revive their loved ones.
...Without delving into the realm of privledge...

Oh, I know it's briefed to you guys, but not in other communities - and I think there are useful lessons learned for all flyers (pilots, NFOs, aircrew) in that one.
ASOs (and the front office) should know the reasoning behind privilege and not hide behind it as an excuse. Privilege doesn't mean "need to know," it means that the privileged information is kept "in the family," which is to mean in DON.
