Please take it for what its worth -- a money grab. Even if on your worse
days you have a bone to pick with ATC, recognize that these lawsuit
outcomes are not truly about the truth or whose at fault; its about who
has the deep pockets. The ultimate question is: what's the PICs
responsibility? These outcomes blame ATC. If the pilot were to have been
presented during his written exam with hypothetical questions encompassing
the same facts, what do you think his answers would have been if the
choices were either to blame the PIC or to blame ATC?


It doesn't look like a money grab to me. There are many suits without merit
that win big bucks, but this doesn't appear to be one of them. The
controller made a fundamental error and two people were killed as a result.
