A troubling discovery last September on a Boston-bound plane received an unexpected response from American Airlines in a legal filing. In an effort to not be held financially liable in a civil lawsuit in Texas, attorneys for American Airlines appeared to blame a 9-year-old girl for allowing herself to be secretly recorded by a flight attendant’s phone in an airplane…

I would certainly hope so.

    There is no way this 9 year old is to blame for some pedo flight attendant recording her. They need to jail that man for a looooooong time.

      Any of the senior leadership of American Airlines who were involved in this horrible decision to go after the girl need to be fired immediately and be given zero compensation for the termination of their employment. They are ethically corrupt bastards.

        Yet the shareholders will thank them for doing these things in an attempt to protect the bottom line.

        I would be more for opening up the managers to be held personally liable for this kind of stuff. I just don’t know under what kind of law. Is this a slapp suit?

        On the other hand, failure to protect the 9 year old should be punishable.
