Air NZ crew heads home alone after LA suicide

As for suing....NZ should consider going after the estate of the deceased for all of its damages, including the dent in the van 8-) Go after the Estate? Oh Gawd! The guy probably had nothing, or very little. Not if he had insurance payable to his estate. I can see the Headlines now "Air New Zealand Sues Widowed mother of 3" Contrary to belief, most people who resort to suicide, don't have much in the first place, and they usually leave family behind that are already struggling to feed themselves & their children. Yeah, a few rich ones jump, but the percentage is small compared to the common person. |

Yeah, I can see it in the training manual now: "Procedures to be Followed When a Human Body Falls from the Sky onto Cabin Crew Transport. 1. Remove body. 2. Clean windscreen thoroughly before proceeding. 3 ...." Cheers, Alan |

The guy probably had nothing, or very little. Not if he had insurance payable to his estate. I can see the Headlines now "Air New Zealand Sues Widowed mother of 3" They wouldn't be suing any widow or orphan. Just the estate. My whole point, throughout, is that the pax shouldn't be bent up because of some bloke's irresponsible actions (sane or insane). Similarly, the airline shouldn't be out of pocket, if there's some prospect of recovery. It's a variant of "my right to swing my fist ends at the tip of your nose." What I'm trying to say is that the "Estate", if any, that this guy has left will probably not be sufficient for his surviving family to live on for the rest of their lives. If the estate is sued, the innocent survivors will be the ones to suffer. It's not their fault that he decided to take a header off the bridge or building. |

: a b c wrote: Mr Sims said the crew went to assist but the person was dead and they were "faced with a horrific scene". Gee. What a precious lot. I guess they will need counseling on some sunny beach for a month before they return to work. Talk about a pampered group of workers. So what you're saying is that these people had someone jump off a bridge, land on their car, and they are expected to just shrug this off?!?!? I commend Air NZ for taking their staff's welfare into account as well as the welfare of their passengers. PapaBear |

"Raffi Balmanoukian" a wrote in message news:BC696E24.21516% Balancing the equities, the innocent pax/airline deserves any resources over those of the alleged widows and orphans. That's real cute ... social equity obviously isn't factored into your equation. My son had an accident at the beach seven years ago which resulted in him becoming a quadriplegic. One person did suggest we sue the beach patrol for his misadventure. I am sure some lawyer would take on such a case, but most certainly not on our behalf. We all recognise it as just simple damn bad luck. Accidents do happen. John |

A guy jumped from the roof of City Hall. What he didn't count on, was the 3rd or 4th floor balcony in front with a flag pole. He was impaled half way down the pole for some time before the fire dept. cut down the pole. I was stuck in traffic, while they cut him down. I believe they closed down City Hall for the day. with flags at half-mast? (ouch!! - sorry) |

Do we get to knock off work (including in the airline industry) because we had a fight with a spouse or the dog died or..... I take it you haven't personally experienced a jumper. Does finding a horse's head in my bed count? Nope, that's just a personal affront from an individual. Trust me, the sight of a jumper going past - and of the splatter mess fifteen floors below - is not easily forgotten. And that was thirty-odd years back. |
