[QUOTE]Originally posted by Gilbert B Norman: [QB] Well Mr. Harris, with all due respect due a Commissioned Officer from an EM, I have to say, based on your relating the incident back in Nam, that you do not appear to be "real RA material", and it probably was best you got out. I gave quite thought to "staying in", but I really did not have a path to get a Commission. Within the incident we are addressing, did the passenger mouth off? Almost certain he did. Did these "cops" use excessive force? Obviously. But I still hold that the sin was allowing a puddle jumper airline to masquerade as if they were the major airline (United) that is going to take a "big time" fall over this incident. I have to wonder if the jurors paneled to hear this case are aware of what a "wet lease" is and what it is not. This was an independent holding a contract to masquerade as another. This was not a "wet lease" where any tort would fall on the lessor. Now what I think the industry need address is the wisdom of this masquerade and direct these carriers operate under their own identity. They did once upon a time; anyone remember Allegheny, Ozark, Central, Southern, North Central, Piedmont and about seven others? They leased gate space with the majors and coordinated their schules. But they were independent airlines with their own marketplace identity. It would be much more difficult to have their torts flow back to a major; this is where the puddle jumper carriers ought to be directed to go. [/QB][/QUOTE]
