    Their decision is really sad news for me, not that I could ever afford to fly with them...I'm sure the greedy vultures who hang out in courtrooms are lusting over the profit they can make from lawsuits stemming from this tragedy...I'm now wondering how the current crisis will play out in the airshow industry......Ben

    Sounds like “the greedy vultures who hang out in courtrooms” would serve their highest & best use if they put their sights on this shoddy operation which killed and maimed a bunch of people with their poor maintenance.

    That is too bad.

    Over many years of analyzing the root cause of accidents I find few are truly "accidents", rather they are "manufactured events" through human failure to follow rules and procedures.
