The airline's attorneys wrote in an answer to the lawsuit involving the 9-year-old from Austin, “She knew or should have known [the compromised lavatory] contained a visible and illuminated recording device." But now, the airline says its outside legal counsel "made an error in the filing."
im so glad that this picture exists, because this man will NEVER fucking live this down.
Not only did he commit a heinous crime, but he’s also a fucking dumbass.
Also, i’m shocked they didn’t immediately settle this case. You would think doing anything other than immediately settling this would be corporate suicide.
When has there been anything resembling judicial corporate death in the last 10 years
A precedent needs to be set yesterday.
im not talking about legal corpo death, i’m talking about death in the public eye. The ruling doesn’t matter, the fact that they even tried to fight this is fucking wild.
It sounds like it’s their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they’d have announced that they’d just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that’s not completely insane.
the ONLY reason i can assume the started fighting this, was because they didn’t know about the image.
Big fucking mistake it turns out. The only reason i mention settlements is because they’re privately settled and often give people fuck tons of money. The dude would’ve be arrested anyway, so it’s only good PR at the end of the day, since now they likely would have an NDA, but apparently whoever is working for them is a little fucking stupid.
