Indeed. I suspect UA and other airlines would like cases like this to go relatively quietly e.g. a fine/ban that deters others from doing the same.

If this gets contested will a prosecutor not have to challenge the airlines studies that demonstrate how difficult it is to transmit the virus on a flight?
