Not Responsible For Employee Crimes: American Airlines Asks Judge To Dismiss Lawsuit

On Monday, February 5, American Airlines officially requested a judge to dismiss a federal lawsuit against the airline. The lawsuit originated from the criminal act of an American Airlines flight attendant, in which the flight attendant was accused of recording a teenage girl in the bathroom on a flight last year. The flight attendant, Estes Carter Thompson III, was arrested in Virginia last month. The family of the teenage girl, who was only 14 years old at the time of the incident, filed a federal lawsuit against both Thompson and American Airlines.
