Ever landed on a dirt runway? Ever landed a 200 million dollar aircraft full of passengers on a buckled runway? Those passengers would record this as video and post it al over the internet. Do you want that PR?

Just another reason to not fly KLM-Air France. Both have very poor performing websites, especially when you are paying international First Class fares. And now they are having real issues with staffing. Not being able to fly out of your HOME BASE city is appalling.

50 C is about 122 degrees F. For planes flying at 35,000 feet the air temp is about -54 C and this is about -65 F. They should of been engineered to withstand temps to both extremes. And if you have ever been to Hamad or Dubai, there are enormous number of planes just sitting in the full sun all the time. If both sides had approached this like a quality assurance/control issue and worked the information correctly, they would know what is happening, why it is happening and also what to do about it. An A350 costs about 350 million. I would not want that sort of investment just sitting there. I would want it flying to generate revenue.

As a traveler that picture makes me very nervous. It looks like Qatar has photo evidence. Now Airbus you need to step up to the plate and explain to me in laymans terms why this is not a big deal. If I looked out the window and saw that on a plane I was going to fly in, I would leave and get off that plane. Well whatever, this will be a litagators dream come true.

As someone who travels I have made the decision to only fly Airbus until this get figured out. The re-insurance industry has noticed this situation. As ultimately they will pay if something happens. Airlines and telecoms insurance lawyers may have something else to add about liability. You will have trouble suing the government. But not the airlines and telecoms. And they are DEEP pockets. That is an incentive for lawyers and their percentage. I allready have asked my travel/trip insurance company can I get coverage for refusing a flight that uses a American plane. Every article says that Airbus altimeters do not have this issue. Now I know I will pay dearly for this coverage. But I prefer living vs. dieing in a firey plane crash. Now I suspect BOTH the FAA and the FCC of gross neglience.

Another thing they can do is have it adjuducated and then a lein can be placed upon their house. Try selling a house with a lein on it.

You are very correct. But what most people do not realize is that your employeer, your insurance company and your bank run monthly reports on your credit worthiness. And this information is then applied too you. Your insurance rates go up, you do not get a job promotion and you are charged higher interest rates by your credit cards and banks. This can double your car insurance rate. Many insurance comnpanies will not write a policy if they feel you are not a good credit risk. This very thing happened to my friend, bankruptcy and bad credit and a DUI and a car accident and his car insruance went to over $1000 a month. They will suffer and I will not feel sorry for them one bit.

As a nurse HIPPA prevents ONLY YOUR HEALTHCARE PROVIDER [ physician, nurse, therapist ect.] from providing anyone any of your health related information. It DOES NOT prevent your employeer from asking these questions. The military has been asking these questions for ever, every single hospital I know asks these questions of you. If you refuse to answer, or give false information, those are grounds to not be hired or fired for misrepresentation.

Every state has laws on its books that allow any business to BAN any single person from their establishment. The law very clearly states though that you MAY NOT BAN a group of individuals, say red heads. That is discrimination. These rules must be applied individually to a single person. Any restaurant owner can tell you that they can and infact do BAN individual customers from their business. Aggressive harassing vulgar behavior is one of those reasons that you may be banned for. As Delta is stating that they are concerned for all their passengers and flight crew, some people may never fly Delta again. You do not have a constitutional right to fly on a plane.
