"@arimer: They're suing because her husband will just.not.acknowledge her role in their family members' deaths (nor that in the deaths of her kid and her sister-in-law's three little girls) and won't admit that she drank or anything at all. I think if her husband had expressed any remorse (even while saying it was out of character for her), they wouldn't have sued."

If he was polite, they would have tried their hardest to accommodate his injury..."

"@floraposte: It does happen quite a bit (it's not on purpose, usually an aircraft change or a computer burp), and generally when there is a small child involved it falls on the gate agent and/or flight attendants to go around asking others to swap seats so the child can sit with at least one parent. Usually they don't make passengers do it themselves, though, and certainly the unattended minor fee attempt is a new one for me."
