I suspect that the "protection" for the aircraft manufacturers is the
reason that the insurance for suppliers has gone up - they are next in

Prolly right, with that.

Net, they need to extend the protection to everything on the airplane.

Even better, take this opportunity to make some rulings to stop the madness
of meaningless law suits, all across the legal system.
