3: An accident? What sort of? That accident could happen to anyone.
4: Justice works slowly!
5: What are you talking about?!
1. no. In an emergency you can not expect FAs to neglect their duties towards the other passengers just to help this person.
2. Again questionable. Who says that FAs are trained to help her in the correct way. Which is also in regard to point 3. What is if they are helping here and by accident the person falls. Would the airline not risk another court case if they would use untrained personal to perform those duties.
3. Accidents that happen while the FAs are helping the person. Helping her on the toilet or something.
4+5. I just find it suspicious that the case was brought to the court in the US. I mean it was a French airline and a british airport. So why not go to court in europe ?? Could it be that this thing only went to court in the US because of the much greater compensation she can expect there.
Don´t get me wrong, I really think that things went very wrong with the Air France jerk and the airline was not right to handle it the way it did. However I see nothing wrong with asking for a doctors to check if she can fly alone.
Perhaps she should have told the airliner earlier about her physical condition, so that they would have been prepared and all problems could have been worked out before hand.
