The fact that hardly any device works correctly (or service runs properly) and is likely to fail prematurely - will inevitably percolate up to aviation.

If one is not paying for a ticket, does one have the right to sue the airline?

Yes, indeed. Employees have lots of statutory rights under laws such as OSHA, for example. As well, there are likely common law duties - especially for common carriers - under which claims for torts like negligence may be brought.

The complaint effectively says she was not acting as an employee so workers comp. does not apply:
- At all relevant times, Plaintiff was employed by Endeavor Air as a flight attendant, but was “deadheading” on Flight 4819, meaning she was traveling as a passenger to position herself for future work assignments.
- Pursuant to Delta and Endeavor’s own policies and procedures, deadheading flight attendants are considered passengers during such travel.
- Plaintiff was not permitted to perform any work duties while deadheading.

I’m not familiar with such litigation, so this may hold. However, not all contractual pronouncements or private company policies may align with “public policy” (= judges’ preferences). Thus, though it will likely hold, it’s not certain how this individual will be legally characterized in the end.

From the image in the article it appears that the impact was received by the center post, not the windshield directly. It seems that the deformation of the windshield frame is what caused the glass damage. How lucky:

Absent a bad selfie mode situation, the first officer’s windscreen was damaged but the captain took the brunt of injury. So the captain would have to have kept flying unless they switched seats.
