Oh, how I despise the modern addiction to blaming and suing everyone else for people's own stupid mistakes. http://www.news.com.au/travel/travel-updates/incidents/mum-lost-hearing-after-turbulent-qantaslink-flight/news-story/3a2b34099804c4af0839ca62fa2f3e0c Internal ear injuries due to turbulence? Give me strength. What a load of crap. No, Luv. You and your family probably got on the flight with a cold or blocked sinuses and now you want to sheet the blame to the airline and try to make a few bucks. What happened is YOUR fault, and yours alone.
Yeah, I just read that , what a load of old tosh ! IF, they were suffering severely she could have told the aircrew and the pilot may have been able to fly at a different height to avoid the turbulence depending on the ATC?? Then again, if man was meant to fly , god would have given him wings
Not a chance in hell. She should have known better - this is the 21st century. It's not... well, actually it is part of rocket science, but it's obvious the whole family had a viral URTI and shouldn't have been flying.
It's simply not possible to suffer an internal ear injury due to turbulence. They only ever happen when someone who is having issues with coping with changes in air pressure (due to having a cold / hay fever etc.) ignores the warnings and gets on an aircraft anyway. Not too hard to imagine the classic "me and my kids are all stuffy but we have to get home and what could possibly go wrong"? routine). The fact the flight was rough is irrelevant. She is "trying it on" with the help of your typical ambulance-chasing lawyer ****. Nothing more. Hopefully the judge or whatever throws it out and tells her to grow up and take some personal responsibility.
Scary - they are talking about this in China already. http://www.chinadaily.com.cn/china/2017-09/22/content_32325167.htm
Lol. I’ll be looooong retired before they allow pilot-less aircraft to carry people. I don’t quite get where the big advantage of this thing is as it’s obviously not fully automated, so you’d need a “pilot” in some room on the ground flying (or monitoring) it anyway, just like the military drones.
Simon you must have your wires crossed, Ross Pay is alive and well, at least he was when I was talking to him last week. It was his dad Col pay who past away in a flying accident developing fire fighting aircraft over a lake from memory.
