My thoughts on this did a 180 after I asked a former pilot friend about it. I had been sure that the pilot/airline would be liable.
Sadly, I think now that she was inattentive for whatever reason. Apparently this was not her first use of private planes for travel (which MIGHT have made a difference).
I'm very sorry for her horrific injuries. But I think that she's not taking responsibility, and trying to blame someone else and make them pay. Unfortunatley this is a "sue them" world nowadays.
The only way that I can think of the pilot/airlines being at fault is if they had served her alcohol or drugs on board (not saying she drank or did any, just speculating) or if the pilot had told her to walk in front of the plane.
I do still think it should be standard policy for the pilot to stop the propellers during deboarding/boarding...just for safety and for protection of distracted or idiot passengers. JMO.
