im so glad that this picture exists, because this man will NEVER fucking live this down.
Not only did he commit a heinous crime, but he’s also a fucking dumbass.
Also, i’m shocked they didn’t immediately settle this case. You would think doing anything other than immediately settling this would be corporate suicide.
It sounds like it’s their insurance company that is handling the thing and their first action was to fight instead of settle. If AA really wanted to send the right message to the public with this announced backtracking, they’d have announced that they’d just dropped their previous insurance company in favor of one that’s not completely insane.
the ONLY reason i can assume the started fighting this, was because they didn’t know about the image.
Big fucking mistake it turns out. The only reason i mention settlements is because they’re privately settled and often give people fuck tons of money. The dude would’ve be arrested anyway, so it’s only good PR at the end of the day, since now they likely would have an NDA, but apparently whoever is working for them is a little fucking stupid.
When has there been anything resembling judicial corporate death in the last 10 years
Holy shit I thought this was The Onion. They are clinging at straws. Fuck corporate greed, all my homies hate big corporations. Never flying with them again.
Behold, how capitalists justify immoral behavior. “it’s not my fault my actions hurt so many people, they should have realized I was going to hurt them and stopped me”
The problem is that American Airlines needs another TAX PAYER FUNDED BAILOUT so they can hire BETTER lawyers and buy BETTER cameras to spy on little girls peeing! We could take money from EDUCATION and give it to AMERICAN AIRLINES TOILET CAMERA FUND!
Imagine being the first person that lawyer pitched his idea to and not responding violently.
I like to think for something as high stakes as the argument you’re going to make in court that a lawyer would have partners or employees or something to bounce ideas off before pulling the proverbial trigger on it.
Edit: oh and discussing such things with the client too
