What it boils down to is which insurance company is going to pay what.



It seems that if he's responsible, the claims against him are valid. He
should accept responsibility and not try to shift blame onto someone
else. Keep in mind that companies don't pay for anything, every dollar
a company spends comes out of YOUR pocket.


This brings up an interesting question. Do
airlines generally cover personal claims against
their employees? I would think that unless a
crime was committed, they would.
