If you fall asleep in the lav, waking up with bodily fluids on you shouldn't surprise

Just fessing up, I did laugh out loud when I read that story. It's just so ridiculous. Creepy and sick to be sure, but also ridiculous.
Anyone else?

From a practical standpoint, it seems that if it were a long enough evening flight where the cabin lights are dimmed, most people are asleep, and the cretin has a blanket covering himself, he could get away with quite a bit, even taking some of his 'stuff' and manually putting some on her hair without anyone else noticing it being done.

It was more fun thinking of it as a three pointer!

Maybe he did't want her to get her hair messed up and gave her some "gel" to keep it up.

Lawsuits are all about money.

That doesn't make the airline responsible.........it makes them a target of a lawsuit.

If there are enough morons on the jury........it will, unfortunately, place the liability on the airline.

I do wonder about the veracity of the story. It would seem to me that other passengers in the immediate vicinity would have witnessed such behavior.........even if the woman was asleep. Like most stories from the media........we get only about 1/2 the truth.

Exactly. And what rational person would suspect that some nabob would pound his pud into the beehive of a nackered nymph?

The more I think about it..........the more the story cannot be true as described.

He had to be sitting down and covered with a blanket until the finale. That's the only possibility of pulling off this scenario. If this is the situation, the airline could not have detected it..........even if there was a flight attendant walking the cabin continuously.

The Nerd had a notion she was a nymph(o).

Indeed. If OTOH, he was exposed, an FA walking around could've seen it. I know that this lawsuit is stupid, but if a passenger were to start beating another one to a pulp, would you expect/require the FA to intervene? An airplane isn't a lawless cabin, yet FA's aren't cops obv.

If there was an air marshall on the plane too, cha-ching! I'd be shocked if her lawyer hasn't checked. We need more judges to dismiss these kinds of cases, or juries to. Instead Law seems to be a game - anything is fair as long as you're clever enough.

Let's say that a very good lawyer convinces the jury that the airline is responsible.

What's the damages?

The person must prove damages if they wish to have any kind of award.

So, she gets one or two shampoos and a styling done and the problem goes away. You cannot convince me........under any possible scenario........that she is harmed for life by such an occurrence and that she's entitled to a large monetary settlement.

So, OK..........airline culpable..........here's your check for $200.........bye.

Could be angling for some free mileage or a playboy spread.
