a typo is an error... putting a decimal point in the wrong place is an error... blaming a 9 year old for someone putting a recording device in a bathroom is not an error.

Excuse me, what 😤

Why is the phone owner's identity being protected?

Didn’t they say the guy’s name months back when the story first hit? Could be wrong about that.

Thu May 23, 2024 - "Thompson was arraigned on Monday and is scheduled to reappear in court on July 1 in Boston, Massachusetts." "Estes Carter Thompson III, of Charlotte, North Carolina" His pic was shown when this first was made public. His pic and all is out there if you search for it.

I’m surprised they didn’t say “she’s just a girl and she asked for it.” 🙄

"So, what did you think when you read that?" "I thought we'll add a few more decimal places to the lawsuit"

I’m just gonna say it. Airlines these days are so bad. At everything.

So an employee (flight attendant) is accused of recording inside a toilet room. And the company is defending them? There are so many questions to be asked in this case.

Sick twisted world. ... on we go..

Someone was hoping that it would be tolerated in some way.

UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!

That’s ridiculous!

How many people cancelled flights before they saw the "ERROR?"

She did not know the device was there !

Children lack frontal cortex brain to understand risks, consequences not mature to have spatial awareness or savvy enough to detect such things. Victims are blamed for "asking for it" mindset.

There’s no need to cite the condition of frontal cortexes of children’s brains. AA’s assertions are specious, unconscionable and reprehensible. AA management lacks a moral centre. To hold a 9 year old responsible for her own sexual exploitation while using a supposedly safe and secure washroom on an AA flight is a blot on their whole culture.

@@nsnopper.. OP is getting scientific & legal wording technical. this was a serious attempt for a court argument. .. but PR quickly realized what a business aspect disaster this defense is.

So...is everyone spied on?

Some 9 year olds still believe in Santa and the Easter Bunny! 😳. This is terrifying!

Shocking…

It's not an error that I haven't flown on American Airlines in over a decade. I don't plan to try them out again any time soon.

Here's a legal issue to look at. Only 13 states in the U.S. have laws to provide reasonable expectation to privacy in clothing store dressing rooms. There has to be a disclosure that monitoring is in progress. It is said to be of the same gender watching the cameras, which could be behind a mirror. No recording can be taken. As long as it is for "theft prevention", it is legal to have cameras monitoring you dressing and undressing in dressing rooms. As an older adult, I had only recently learned this. Cameras are "hidden" in the changing facilities. Here is something to question. Why hide the cameras if all other U.S. states claim its legal to have no expectation of privacy in the dressing room? Least people will then see the camera and make an informed decision for themselves whether they agree to be monitored or not. If AA lawyers are taking the strategy to put blame on the child, it is a no go. There would have to be a notice on the door saying that the restroom is being monitored. But that even would not work because it is not for theft prevention. But all in all, video voyeurism for sexual gratification is illegal and therefore, time to throw out this defense by AA lawyers!

God she likes talking over her guests too much. Let him speak for goodness sake!

I wouldn’t accept it either

This incident put every employee's Job on the line @ American Airlines. If I were the CEO I would FIRE that Lawyer and fire the PR Dept! This is Inexcusable in any industry! TYPO will not work! I see CANCELLATIONS IN YOUR FUTURE! Better start Groveling!

Gosh darn😢

😱

In WHAT world is it acceptable to video Anyone in a restroom, it is today unacceptable, we are supposed to be a decent society that doesn't tolerate anything like this

Pretty Crazy. Instead of declaring outrage over incident .. they lawyer up.

So not only is signing off on this defense reprehensible but I question the corporate morals of the company. How could they not look at this as horrible and a prelude to an anticipated public backlash. So “we as a company are morally bankrupt but we believe that the public is as well”. There are other carriers to fly with.

American airlines need to file bankruptcy or merge with another major American airline. With less meth use at the ceo board room meetings

Wait what happened??

An employee of the Airline was caught having a tape recording in the bathroom, but instead of manning up and blaming the Employee, they now blame the 9-year-old girl for not thinking like an "Adult", They are blaming the girl just to avoid a LAWSUIT. This is all about avoiding someone's large sum of money.

Misspelling a word is an error blaming a child for being the victim of a sex crime is not an error they put that in there realized it was going to hurt their money and back tracked

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 no one is more greedy than a socialist. That cult only wants power and control.

Imagine the conversation that was had right before they filed this it probably wants something like this. “Jim: We’re screwed here. Jason: wait! What if we blame the girl!! Brilliant let’s go with that “ This is on par with thinking men who drink Bud Light would be OK with a mentally ill man who pretends to be female hawking their drink.

The epitome of an Offensive Defense. Shame on the Airline’s legal team.

lol AA should have known not to hire such slimy lawyers. They definitely approved that statement. Nasty company. I’ll never fly with them again.

What about unaccompanied minors ? We’re paying a fee for their care and safety… and now as a parent I have to worry about this kind of sickening behavior of staff ?
