Our FBO manager loves to play with these guys, telling them stuff like
"winds are variable -- you have your choice of 6 runways..." or he'll simply
give them the AWOS frequency, laconically stating that "our AWOS will give
you the complete weather every 30 seconds...


The second is excusable, but I don't think the first is. I know what
the conversation would be in the jury room when they were trying to
assess liability for damages. ("Well, he told the guy to land on any
runway!")

No he didn't. He said he had his choice of six which is true no matter what
the wind might be. What liability would they be trying to assess?

And just like *that* (snapping his fingers) we're back to the liability
attorney/insurance thread!

Sorry.

Hold on...When you're placing blame and determinig who's liable NOBODY
says Sorry! That's automatic grounds to accept all liability.
