Woman paralyzed after bad turbulence on Continental Airlines flight {Gadling}
Apr 22nd 2009 5:11PM It might be that USA domestic airlines leaves the seatbelt on because of the liability. With the current climate of Americans that like to sue for anything. I understand the view of a company to prevent these. Consumer tend to sue for a scratch , as long as they get their money.
There are already people of that Hudson flight that is going to sue the airline because the were safe and not killed in a crash landing. So let me say, i understand that Americans have create such a climate that companies are afraid of stupid lawsuites.
Woman paralyzed after bad turbulence on Continental Airlines flight {Gadling}
Apr 21st 2009 11:04PM Tell that to that stubborn lady that didn't pay attention to the sign. Maybe paralyzed for life. But just her a good reason to sue the company and retired comfortable with her millions.

Galley Gossip: The flight attendant was a mess! {Gadling}
Apr 16th 2009 8:20PM Different Airline got different policy. European airline always setup a bar at the back and ask the pax to get it themselves. AirFrance FA even told me that they don't bring drinks and that I should get it myself at the back. Anyway, shouldn't appearance been corrected by the Flight supervisor or Purser if it is a mess. I doubt that most pax would care about an appearance of a FA look a bit untidy. Although, if a FA is smelly, then I would avoid such FA as well.

Galley Gossip: Lost in first class {Gadling}
Mar 12th 2009 12:55PM Maybe the father was on a businesstrip and his ticket was paid by the company. First class is expensive if you have to shell out the money for those seats. But decide to have a biz trip combine with a short holiday with his family. If I am going to nyc i would rather spend my money useful then on firstclass seats.
