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."


United States Government has sovereign immunity, and you have to seek
permission to take a legal action against an agency
