I think some lawyers should be fed to wild pigs.

Quote:
NEW YORK (Reuters) - A New York lawyer is suing Delta Air Lines for $1 million, saying his family vacation turned into a nightmare after they were stranded in an airport for days and treated disdainfully by airline employees.

Richard Roth, who filed the lawsuit on behalf of himself and his mother, said he planned the Christmas 2007 trip to Buenos Aires to celebrate his mother's 80th birthday. She had grown up in the city, but had not returned in years, he said.

Instead, Roth, his two teenage children, his wife and mother spent three days in airports, went days without their luggage, were treated rudely by airline employees and were forced to spend $21,000 on unused hotel rooms in Argentina, replacement clothes, and other costs.


While I understand the frustration, it blows my mind that this really happened. I'm sure it's largely fabricated. Anyway, read the full Yahoo article here.

I do think he should be reimbursed for costs caused by the airline's ineptness.

If it did happen, they should get every penny. Common carriers and innkeepers owe a high duty of care to their customers. No one should have to put up with anything like that.

BB,

What makes you think the story is largely fabricated?
