MALAYSIAN AIRLINE'S Scumbag Exec's Show their 'True Colours' !

   LAST WEEK it was revealed that Malaysian Airlines is attempting to 'means test' their initial compensation payouts to the families and estates of the victims of the MH17 shot down over the Ukraine...

INSTEAD of paying out a flat rate for each casualty of the tragedy, the mongrel-gutted lowlife executives of Malaysian Airlines have attempted a "try on" demand for financial info' and background info' on each victim, so that they can "tailor" their initial payouts for each individual..

JUST HOW LOW can the bosses and lawyers for Malaysian Airlines slither to these days ?

Malaysia Airlines accused of means testing MH17 compensation

Lawyers representing some of the victims of Malaysian Airlines flight MH17 are planning to meet with airline executives this week to discuss why compensation payouts are being means tested.

The meeting comes after the son of a Sydney passenger who died on the flight revealed he had been asked by the airline to provide financial information about his mother.

Lawyers say initial compensation payments made to families should not be means tested in line with the Montreal Convention which governs airline liability globally.

Classic attempt to "evaluate" the value of a person.  Why don't they just ask what mother meant to them?  Because they can't quantify mum that way, that's why.  See...if they reduce it to a numbers game, they can construct a map of how to reduce the numbers.  Simple, eh?

A good way to counter this tactic is for each family member to keep a log, in narrative form, day-by-day, of how they have missed the decedent...let's call her mum.  Not just how much, but specifics about how mum used to help looking after the kids, how she would read to them, and non-economic things like how she would tell stories (or jokes) at family gatherings, or how she reminded you of dates and appointments, how she used to make you feel good about yourself, what a great cook she was, etc.  These are things of non-economic value, and are not only intrinsically relevant, but confound the defendants' attempt to turn mum into an economic calculator. They change the nature of the game.

Well, I'm pretty sure UK law when setting out a compensation claim, the amount the person would have earned is always the basis, something that I long though was very unfair, and I'm pretty sure how much you miss them is never taken into account.

Yes, that's the classic way banks and insurance companies try to set things up in order to have things their way. It's not the way you or I think of mum or dad--a money-making machine, ffs??--but its the way they can bargain you down.

UK law is the result of lobbyists, just like US law. The only people who can afford lobbyists are banks and insurance companies, and the like. It's how corporations control your life. It's how they end up with 99-percent of all the wealth and you become a one-percenter.

Have to agree with that!
