It is not “all about money for lawyers.” From the reported facts, everyone in the chain of responsibility failed to provide this student with a competent instructor. This “instructor” had prior incidents indicating that he was incompetent. Every student taking a lesson has the right to assume that, at least, he or she will survive the flight. You appear to base your comment on hatred of lawyers, but if you were injured by someone’s negligence I believe that you would rush to find the best lawyer to obtain maximum compensation!
