It will be interesting to see if the fed's grant their request to sue
the FAA.

How so? By Fed do you mean Federal Court? Would not the FAA be liable to
the charge that it is not doing everything possible to prevent such an
accident by usurping an air directive? The jet was cleared for takeoff
behind a Dash-8-200 "in violation of mandatory separation requirements."

The FAA may be without fault but it would seem on discovery by deposition
would begin to prove that one way or the other.
