A billion? Really?

I'm sure the lawyers are just reaching for the moon but I think william shakespeare was right al along.

This is what can kill Wokedom and DEI.

Of course they are. Who would just want to be grateful to be alive, when there’s easy money on the table.

Yes, this happened on a Boeing 737 MAX, and we all know the dumpster fire the MAX has been for Boeing, but this wasn't due to a design flaw in the aircraft, this was due to poor quality control after performing rework on the fuselage.

Boeing has been losing their way ever since the merger with Mcdonnell Douglas and the move of their HQ from Washington state to Chicago.

What they need, and what they'll never get, is a major shakeup of upper management by getting rid of the bean counters and installing engineers.

A lawsuit is fair enough, but these amounts are becoming ridiculous.

[Sacajaweau]

Not grateful to be alive...They have to prove negligence??

[Sicon]

Nobody was seriously injured.

Which is why no one is getting $1 billion out of this.

[Ex-Con777]

I believe it will be easy for Boeing to document the proper procedures were in place and the training was appropriate. The burden will fall on mechanic error and whoever signed off the paperwork saying these procedures were followed. Boeing’s liability will be limited.

Alaska Airlines will be similarly situated.

In the past, the reason so many aircraft accidents were labeled “Pilot Error”was to limit liability of the company. That has shifted when the deep pockets were pursued over nit-picky procedural errors. The companies responded by having so much of there manuals written in legalese. That’s great for the trial lawyers, but a pain for the everyday user.

Assuming these people weren't serious injured I,as a juror,might award them a few thousand for “pain and suffering”. But when they ask for a billion I'd vote *NOTHING* because of their damn chutzpah.

[Jumper]

Ah come on. Totla BS. It is time Congress steps in and puts an end to this BS. Of course should they give the money to Trump, we may be on to something;)

This money will be donated to the Trump Campaign? Maybe the Red State Americans can start suing every level of government, every corporation, every person with wealth to fund Trump’s Campaign.

Boing sucks but where are the damages?

Jump-scares and hurt feelings aren’t damages.

Between Boeing and Pfizer, my flying days are pretty much over.

[EEGator]

The compensation against Alex Jones for words was $1.4 billion…

[bert]

No, untrue.

Ambulance chasing lawyers are suing Boeing.

What about the 3 orphans that got sucked out the door?....
