Default New Angel Flight NE Reqs

"Waiver of Liabiliity"
"By signing this waiver, you are giving up any rights you might
otherwise have to sue the pilot, mission assistant or Angel Flight
West in the event of an accident".

This is in very large type at the top of the 2 page release. The
rest of it was written by the lawyers.


That is nothing but a feel good waiver. There is no way that it would stand
up in court, if suite was filled by one of the flight crew's family member.
You simply can not sign away other peoples rights.

This type of thing is done, primarily so everyone involved "thinks" there is
no way for a law suit to be carried out, so it is less likely that a suite
will be filled.
