Colgan Air Flight 3407 crash update

[Caliga]

Hey, Cal, you can be my wingman, anyday!

Yahoo?

[Caliga]

What? 

[garbon]

[Caliga]

uh....

WE BUILT THIS CITY, WE BUILT THIS CITY ON ROCK AND ROLLL....

[garbon]

I feel a-tragic like I'm Marlon Brando

[Caliga]

errr....

SHE'S SO MEAN, BUT I DON'T CARE
I LOVE HER EYES AND HER WILD, WILD HAIR....

I like peeing on my own thread.

[garbon]

You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
To make you sleep with me

I try not to pee in public.

This is going to become a case study in pilot training.

And damages lawsuits.

Case study they won't teach in B school: if you are going to poorly train commercial airline pilots and pay them so little they have to work part time at Starbucks, stay thinly capitalized.

Question for the lawyers: the victims families seem to have a favorable case against Colgan, but it seems possible they will be bankrupt soon. What are the implications for a lawsuit? Settle quickly before the assets are gone, go after third parties, proceed with the normal course of litigation in order to collect from the bankruptcy assets?

Hey, Cal, you can be my wingman, anyday!

Bullshit, you can be mine.

HIGHWAY TO THE DANGER ZONE

[Ed Anger]

Cal would flame out over the titty gulf, and would need to be hoisted out by a Sea King.

Also, would any third parties be culpable, unless Colgan relied on third-party sources for training and pilot certification?

You need to start thinking like an attorney: who trained the pilots, who gave them their licenses, who made the aircraft parts that may have contributed, who made the aircraft, should the aircraft have been allowed to fly in those conditions (who made that decision), who programmed the autopilot, who was responsible for maintainance, who sold the tickets to the unsafe airline, who saw the pilots before they flew and should have known they were unfit to fly, were there any people on the flight for business that could expose their employers to liability, should air traffic control had kept them out of that region due to weather, and probably a few more parties I'm not thinking of right now.

I don't Cal to be my wingman. He'll direct me to tubbos, uggos, and butterfaces.

I want to be your: Goose.

Are you: Wedge Antilles or Porkins?

An interesting question.  On the one hand, Porkins and his entire wing were annihilated.  In Wedge's case, 2 out of 3 wing members survived, but Wedge bailed on his wingmen, and only the timely intervention of Han Solo saved Luke.  Biggs wasn't so lucky.

Now, because you'd clearly be Biggs in this situation (you are definitely a beta male, as evidenced by your attraction to sub-optimal females (juveniles) and your choice of career (HR attracts mainly broken people who hate themselves and everyone else)), I would suggest that the right answer is Porkins.  If you are going to go down in flames, you want your whole party to go down in flames.  You don't seem like the type to be satisfied by hanging out at the club by yourself while the alpha male busts off a piece of ass in the back seat of your car out in the parking lot.
