If you read through the Complaint archives at the Canadian Transportation Agency, it doesn't appear that AC has the right to arbitrarily ban people for life. However, they certainly can require that people who have misbehaved in the past take steps to show, to their satisfaction, that they are not a risk to the aircraft, the people around them, or to AC staff.

What will take time is sorting through the contributing factors and figuring out how to apportion the faults. Given the publicly known facts, it's hard to imagine that any of the named respondents will escape mention in the final report.

Given the investigators have access to the aircraft, accident scene, crew, ATC, weather, and data recorders, it's a fair assumption that the TSB knows exactly what happened.

I just think suing everyone at this point is a little extreme.

... but, I'm not an AC pilot. So unlikely you'd ever have to worry about me
But the lawyer doesn't have access to any information which isn't public... so IMHO it really doesn't say much.

I meant info that the lawyer is working with right now. Yes they will get what they ask for later on but for this initial filing, the fact Airbus isn't named doesn't give us educated insight into the cause of the crash.

Well, it tells us that the lawyers are certain that the cause was not mechanical, which has not yet been acknowledged in public. I infer from that certainty that they have access to information that the rest of us do not.

I think not. Even if they knew it WAS mechanical they may feel they have a case resulting from improper or insufficient maintenance.

Not to mention there are thousands (tends of thousands?) of these birds out flying - one failing does not show a design problem but rather a potential maint issue.

GNSS approaches weren't a requirement for runway 05. If Nav Canada wants to continue to publish minimums and plates for alternative approach methods, there is no reason AC or any other airline shouldn't be able to use them.

The last passenger of the Air Canada flight that crash landed in Halifax has been released from hospital, but Ruth Macumber's recovery is far from over.
Macumber has been in hospital since AC624 smashed into the runway at the Halifax Stanfield International Airport during the early hours of March 29.

But then again, when you think about it, at 81 years of age, she could've slipped an fell on ice in a cold winter day and gotten a similar injury! Would that also be categorized as a "hard landing"?
