PelAir disconnections: Of guilty consciences; &/or legacies? 
Kaz Casey recently received perplexing communications and correspondence from none other than Dr (Hoodoo Voodoo) Aleck:
Here is an AP link for that law journal article: Defossez (2017) Only Bodily Injury Recoverable for Aviation Accidents - How is that Still Possible? (read pg 14-16)
Apparently Dr A has offered to take up KC's cause within the ICAO for amendments to the Montreal Convention.
This is in stark contrast to the time when Dr A tried to psychologically belittle KC - "..come on Karen this is not a conspiracy.." - when she tried to gain answers to why CASA seemed hell-bent on covering up the many identified safety issues and regulatory non-compliances surrounding the PelAir AOC...
So is it a case that the Hoodoo Voodoo Doc has a guilty conscience; or is he merely trying to dress up his legacy before taking his golden parachute to the executive public service bottomless trough?
While on psychological trauma being defined as a physical injury for the purposes of aviation accident compensation under international agreements like the Montreal Convention, I note that a certain RRAT legislative committee Chair has a fairly deep insight into these matters in his former life as a business owner and insurance investigator with Asia Pacific Claims Management (plus reference: The man behind some of LNP's big decisions).
Keeping the previous seemingly bizarre back flip by Dr A in mind - now read the following short 2010 ETB Travel news article:
Action group on Qantas QF72 expands worldwide
October 11, 2010 Australia, Aviation News No comments
Passengers on board the Qantas flight QF72 are building an army to seek compensation for psychological trauma.
The group originated in the US have teamed up with Wisner Law Firm to sue Airbus and manufacturers Northrup Grumman after the plane nose air dived twice in mid-air on route from Singapore to Perth.
Wisner Law Firm deployed agents from Asia Pacific Claims Management (APCM) to recruit 15 of the 38 Singaporeans who were on board recently joined the group made up of approximately 100 passengers, Today Online reported.
Last month the pilot flying the plane also joined the action group.
APCM Director Barry O’Sullivan said people are not aware that they are able to seek compensation without physical injury.
“[US] law provides quite expressively for claims to be made against trauma and there is no question that this is a particularly traumatic event for passengers,” Mr O’Sullivan said.
Singaporean man on board the plane Mr H S Ng said on the first dive people standing were thrown against the roof, plates went flying and luggage fell out of the overhead compartment.
On the second descent many had their seat belts on “but it was more terrifying this time because we all thought we were going to die,” Mr Ng said.
Airbus Spokesperson said the investigation into the cause of the nose dives was ongoing.
While Qantas provided passengers on board the flight with counselling, paid medical expenses, fares were refunded and they were given ex-gratia payments.

As many on here would be aware back in February certain PAIN members - which included P7, KC and DJ - attended a private RRAT committee meeting that was supposedly meant to be an opportunity for PAIN to brief the Senators on our assessment/opinion/review of the 500+page, multi-million dollar costed Pelair MKII Final report. History will now show that the requested Senate RRAT committee briefing was in fact hi-jacked by none other than the Chair Barry O'Obfuscation....
However it was also pointed out to me that in the course of the hijacked briefing KC mentioned several times the deficiencies in both the Montreal convention and the uniquely deficient regulations surrounding air ambulance operations in Australia. Yet never at anytime did the Chair indicate he had invaluable prior professional exposure to international aviation insurance law in this area??

Couple this with the obvious (conflicting with general consensus) favourable bias Barry O'Muppet has for the current HVH version of the ATSB - see HERE - one has to question whether the Chair has a serious COI which should preclude him from being involved in any present or future aviation related committee matters...

Dear Karen
If you were not already aware, I’ve attached a copy of a relatively recent law journal article dealing with an issue in which I know you have a strong personal interest—and which discusses your case in the NSW courts in quite some detail.
