Unless there is pertinent precedent, this lawsuit sounds like a fishing expedition. At least as far as UPS’s liability is concerned… VT San Antonio Aerospace and Boeing are seemingly much more likely to have any sort of liability.
Alas, the best practice is to sue everybody & see what sticks. It’s worth a try.
Preface: this comment is unrelated to my original comment & only tangentially related to the article.
I wonder if Boeing would’ve been so eager to acquire McDonnell Douglas had they not been so “successful” in developing the DC/MD-11, which was practically just a modernized & bigger DC-10.
-> The McDonnell Douglas executives & board members that Boeing inherited from the merger ended up penny pinching the 787 program, which led to a delayed & botched launch.
-> Instead of developing an all-new aircraft to replace the 737, MCD-influenced leadership decided to develop the 737-MAX – and do so without training pilots on MCAS. The crashes that followed put a huge dent in Boeing’s reputation and halted deliveries, which combined to allow the Airbus A320 family of aircraft to surpass the 737 in deliveries.
-> Instead of developing an all-new 777 replacement, Boeing decided to develop the 777-X. The aircraft is currently 7 years behind schedule. While it should be a popular replacement for the A380 & B747, I wonder if Boeing would’ve decided to just start fresh had they known that building a 777 in the vein of the 737-MAX would take so long to develop. And until the 777-X is released, Boeing will continue losing ground to Airbus’ A350.
-> With all DC-10s & MD-11s grounded – possibly for good (?) – Boeing gets terrible press for aircraft that they didn’t even develop in the first place. But of course, the company that did develop the MD-11 did infect Boeing with garbage leadership/management.
What we need is more ambulance chasing attorneys.
