Passengers on crashed Toronto plane offered
US $300,000 each

Delta made it clear that the $30K has no strings attached and does not affect any future claims against the airline. Seems like a sincere gesture.

I wish every mishap didn’t come with a price. I remember the day when “accidents happen.”

They all walked away from it with very few minor injuries on a few passengers. I'd take the money and just be thankful I survived.

Delta is trying to bury this. We STILL don’t know who was flying the aircraft. This leads me to believe it was a low-time DEI hire who never should have been in the cockpit or at the controls.

"It remains unclear what caused the incident" DEI

"By accepting and cashing this check, you agree to fully release, discharge, and absolve Endeavor Air, Delta Airlines, and its successors, from any and all claims, demands, liabilities, or causes of action, whether known or unknown, arising prior to or as of the date of this release."

Nice try Delta. The lawsuits are coming.

I'd read the fine print closely, looking for strings that they claim aren't there, and then cash the check.

Counter at 250k.

Here's the best info on the crash I have found. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z1sHnkF-088 The pilot flying had just obtained Airline Transport Pilot (ATP) certificate 6 weeks prior, and it was a Restricted ATP, which meant no Pilot In Command (PIC) permitted. Two methods for dealing with a crosswind landing, both equally effective. One is the "slip", which places one wing low, as in a turn, but opposite rudder to prevent the turn. This has the fuselage aligned with the runway all the way. The second technique is the "crab" where the aircraft nose points into the crosswind and this means the flight PATH is down the runway, but the nose of the aircraft isn't pointed down the runway. At the last second the rudder is used to 'kick it straight' to line up with the runway just before touchdown. It appears that the pilot was using a "slip" and did NOT level the wings prior to touchdown. With the very short landing gear on the CRJ aircraft, the wings are very close to the ground. It appears that the right wingtip touched the ground and ripped off the wing, precipitating the crash. So, a very, very "green" pilot with the ink barely dry on the ATP certificate, and bad piloting technique, failure to level the wings just before touchdown on an aircraft with very short landing gear. Not a problem with a high wing aircraft like a Cessna, for example.

I don't know what the limit of liability is now, but the FAA had at one time a per seat cap on commercial aircraft liability. I don't know what it is now but maybe a $100,000. And the airline is not liable above that. This is to prevent a family of someone killed to sue for a hundred million or more. The insurance companies could not offer coverage if that were the case, and the airlines would be bankrupt. Limiting the liability enables us to afford to fly, otherwise a ticket would cost multiple thousands of dollars and the rich would be the only ones flying in their private jets. My best advice if you are the sole provider is to buy life insurance to take care of your family, whether it be an airline crash or a heart attack.

Was this plane flown by some DEI strumpets?

It's $30,000. Please correct the headline.
