Dao's attorney kept mentioning that the pilot is in charge of the aircraft during his press conference yesterday.
The crew must be looking at legal bills that they expect the union to help pick up.

True. According to the Fed. Aviation Rules the Captain is in charge and responsible the moment he/she steps on board. However, like in so many other cases there is a shared responsibility until the door is closed and the boarding ramp removed. That will be determined in court. In this case the flight deck crew may not have even known what was going on in the cabin as they are isolated in a locked and secured cockpit.
I'm wondering about the flight attendants. They didn't stop a situation that traumatized passengers who were ready for the flight to begin. They didn't call the real police when airport security thugs beat up a passenger in their charge. I thought the flight crew is responsible for the safety and well-being of the passengers.
This isn't going away. It just might be a pivotal moment. We've been reduced to slavery by the corporate elite. Dr. Dao is someone who had the guts to say ENOUGH!! In 1955, Rosa Parks refused to take a seat in the back of the bus. (at least she was offered an alternative seat). She's the symbol for demands for equality. Is Dr. Dao going to be the symbol for us "little folk" saying ENOUGH to corporate thuggery?
Yeah, I think it's potentially that huge.
