AVweb’s Question of the Week …

Aviation lawsuits – keeping us safe, or making aviation unpalatable and (even more) expensive? This week, AVweb wants to hear your opinion on aviation litigation. PLUS: Results of last week’s question on the usefulness of TFRs.

*** PREVIOUS RESULTS ***

Last week, AVweb asked our readers to pick a side when it comes to those pesky TFRs (temporary flight restrictions) that have become all-too-common in the post-9/11 world.  The overwhelming majority - 85% of respondents, or 565 people - said that TFRs are often inane, indecipherable, and (at their most harmless) utterly useless.  But the remaining 15% of you defended TFRs, saying the restrictions are often necessary to protect pilots, passengers, and leaders in these dangerous times.

*** THIS WEEK'S QUESTION ***

This week, we want to ask a similar question about aviation lawsuits.  Do they serve higher a purpose, or are they merely a distraction from the real business of aviation?  As before, we know you may not fully agree with either statement - but for the purposes of the poll, we ask that you pick a side.
