The more I hear about this story, the more annoying it gets. This was (and is) and obvious ploy by some jerks to generate a lawsuit and try to extort some money from an airline.
I hope that US Airways doesn't fall for it - and even if it costs them more money than paying them off - they should fight any attempts for these bozo's to sue them (which this was obviously the plan all along).
Twerps like this should be jailed.
