Just when I thought American Airlines could not sink any lower...Child porn is 9yo's fault

American Airlines apologized after lawyers for the carrier made a shocking claim that a 9-year-old girl should have known that she was being filmed in the airline bathroom by a creepy flight attendant.
The airline blamed “outside legal counsel retained with our insurance company” and said it would withdraw the legal filing.

The hurried correction came on the heels of the Monday legal filing in which the airline’s attorneys suggested that the girl who was allegedly filmed in an airplane bathroom “knew or should have known” that the lavatory contained “a visible and illuminated recording device.”

Call me sexiest, but only women should be flight attendants.

Yea sometimes you actually have to get off your arse and do something other than drafting and filing the form response.

So that firm just lost the American Airlines work.

It's a legal proceeding. I'd expect my lawyer to use whatever tactic he can to limit my exposure. I don't want him tossing out potentially good arguments because "that sounds too mean." If there's an argument to be made that the victim didn't do what was necessary and reasonable, and that's not my fault, it needs to be made.

How the frick did their legal team think this was a better response than admitting an employee did this contrary to airline protocol?
Even if they win this case, that is going to be the PR nightmare of all time for them.

There is no doubt that this is is a heinous act by the flight attendant.
Would or should a 14 year old have known that the setup pictured above was an iPhone taped to a toilet lid? Probably. You can clearly see what appears to be an iPhone under the tape.
Accordingly, does that 14 year old have some responsibility to not just ignore the iPhone and use the bathroom anyway? Probably.
Would your answer change if it was a 9 year old?

At what age should a child know that the setup was an iPhone and not use that bathroom?
In any event, the issue of whether to raise that possible defense should have been discussed with AA by the attorney prior to filing the answer.

Ngl kind of scary to imagine with all the spy shite and technology in 2024. Most of us probably encounter it more than we know.

I remember hearing about this. Problem is if a dad caught this he would be in trouble for breaking the pervs arm.

This is believable to be honest. The cretin drones that the airlines and their insurance carriers hire are exactly the type of people who would make that argument.

Lawyers for insurance carriers are literally retarded. You have to be to represent scum.

Lawyer here. It’s malpractice not to include an affirmative defense of contributory fault. But I can’t imagine making this affirmative defense without hard information to back it up:
If anyone on my team made that defense they had better have some real facts to support it. If they just threw it out there without something to back it up, I’d have that attorney’s stuff packed in a box and waiting on the curb for pick up. Believe it or not, some of us aren’t soulless.

No matter the age, NO ONE should expect this to be a possibility. No excuse at all. Lawyers really are scum if they believe this was a legit argument. Not even a "throw at the wall to see what sticks" argument.
