Aviation Law encompasses a lot of international laws which is why you tend to get specialized lawyers doing it, but here at home UCC Article 2 reigns supreme. You can claim that PR caused the settlement but without some legal standing they aren't settling otherwise, as you mentioned earlier, it would set a bad precedent. Interesting to note that Dao didn't sue or settle with the law enforcement agency, which means he was probably planning to position United as the sole party responsible for the events and the ensuing damages.

But a contract of carriage isn't a contract for the sale of goods.
