Re: Flight Attendant Injury Somebody ablove just touched on the issue...If you depart and she's really hurt, the company has been exposed to liability from her injury and real or percieved pressure to perform.
If you depart without a required crewmember and her services are required due to emergency, the families of the crash victims will find this out and expose the company to liability.
If you depart without a required crewmwmber and there's an FAA inspector on board, everybody is screwed.
If you delay the flight, and passengers get mad and decide to sue for a delayed departure, the company plays the safety card and the lawsuits evaporate.
