Pilot sues flight attendants over safety

Pilot sues flight attendants over safety Feb 23rd, 2009 at 12:30PM: Three Phoenix-based flight attendants are in the unusual position of defending themselves from pilot-instigated litigation.

Regardless of how he got off, he was apprehended, naturally, and could be in bigger trouble than he anticipated. To his credit, the plane was at the terminal already, and other ...

The original article is from Money Magazine and posted at CNN.com. The version I saw yesterday was on AOL's welcome page. It's an abbreviated version. Instead of 30 city neighborhoods, there are 10 with a link to the other 20. Here they ...
