-- hey if you're on jetBlue and your pilot.

Comes out of the cockpit screaming.

Bloody murder essentially.

And you think you're about to die because the pilot pretty much says you are.

You sue the airline well there's approximately.

Let's see how many people sued jetBlue ten people are suing jetBlue.

Over pilots and flight break down -- basically saying among this lawsuit.

That that that that the airline didn't do enough to prevent this guy from flying in the first place.

He's what are your pilots he should know that this guy clearly is not mentally fit to be handling an aircraft.

Does this lawsuit over light series surprising only ten on your considering there -- 131000.

I was -- That may be more we can always -- -- complaints to include -- neutral -- I think if that's -- they -- class action lawsuit if it could look I think it does have legs for the following reasons they're talking about gross negligence and re talking about infliction of emotional distress look at those two things negligence of duty breach PlayStation damages in English does the airline had a duty to with passengers to ensure their safety apps that -- Absolutely they do.

Was it breached by virtue of having a pilot that he that you knew or should have known had these complicated who's running around saying what going down sings it -- in Vegas.

Terrorism my rant I've -- let this is the person Julie who's supposed to be com who's supposed to -- tranquility amongst us all up islet and -- pilots going crazy it's a breach that duty.

As a result of that you cause third element causation and damages now that the big issue finally.

Is on the damages they gonna argue that they're very weak.

Because there's no real physical injury but yeah arsenal emotional scars that I think will last a lifetime similar to posttraumatic stress disorder I mean look claim they can't eat they can't sleep -- thinking about -- they can't fly.

I was like there are severe emotional damages that you can go after on this -- shaking his head into the -- -- me -- let me just speak on behalf of a passenger -- is mortified about flying I have -- phobia I would be on this lawsuit and I'd be suing for emotional damages.

Essentially it would never set foot on a plane ever again I already only fly once a year -- -- is so this would ruin the rest of my life I'm concerned and no therapist could fix me.

So that is worth some serious doubt.

You don't agree.

Yeah it.

Good time.

You know that's pour it on right now I've launched this coffee mug right and I -- someone in the studio OK you sue me.

You don't sue fox you'll only sue fox if fox knew before they put me in this chair that I might do something like that so.

Have different days of because you're not coming on the show and people -- hundreds of people's lives are not dependent on you coming on -- that's not -- when you're -- -- of an airline of a national and see if you're an air the entire community you need to be held to a higher the have to be proof.

That jetBlue either knew that this guy might go nuts or.

They didn't do something to make sure how do we know that just wasn't something that nobody in God's green -- could have seen coming.

What at that point it's got this guy is so that is probably don't graduate -- all the way higher.

Coach Randy you would concede -- -- the airlines currently denied that he had any mental ailments injuries or anything of the point.

You would concede that in discovery which is the process where attorneys get records and information that we see that -- some data just to have some metals are some stress or some other ailments buck.

Mental maladies that this becomes a strong suit for the link it's the passengers you'd agree with eight -- eight did it has legs look like that you should know that first don't -- first with nothing and hope -- -- -- what they're really hoping boards.

They -- cool to say you know what let's just write a check -- be done with these people at some point as a defendant you gotta say.

No.

Camera why -- -- -- you get to see in discovery of what else jetBlue new.

Was he a guy that.

Freaked out you know at the bar every night before opera why was he the guy that -- been suspended a few times.

Were there any complaints or -- complete a valiant leading up to this by a I don't know fellow coworker or is he a veteran of war there had been treated for -- -- stress and that's also something that we really look at.

You're moving forward in the future there are a lot of these pilots who have been fighting -- -- were now going on a lot of Montgomery that needs to be made apple is it doesn't -- -- -- Now did they know that he would act that -- -- -- -- one or should they have no right.

-- -- -- -- -- psychological evaluations do they conduct of pilots and how often I mean I guess that would be something else.

The right way to the right way to proceed would be used to the pilot he's the one who did you wrong -- discovery and if think discovery when you.

Issuing of subpoenas and you do the depositions and get in documents there's some evidence that jetBlue new push I don't know if -- -- jetBlue didn't.

You just go hit that -- I don't it.

-- I would tell you that going postal a plane was not.

-- -- -- -- It is in this gold watch what you built not only are always -- deep pocketed deep pocket he's employed by them that's the principal the airlines the principle he's the agent he represents them he's flying on their behalf you absolutely go after them.

And -- the -- the course of discovery we're gonna find out what they knew and when they knew it and it didn't need it comes that they should it now he hit.

Let it fly want you all -- Duncan haven't out -- there.

That there are right guys thank you very much and I -- -- to -- you and it's camera.

It's not -- you probably get -- a lot probably really you know if America -- sorry no me I didn't ask him that's right you avenue and hit a woman.
