Answer to Question 1

There is diversity and a claim in excess of 75,000, so federal district court is appropriate. The location is either Pennsylvania (site of the crash) or Delaware (principal place of business). Allegheny could not be required to defend a lawsuit in Nevada since it has no contacts there.

Answer to Question 2

General loss of consumer trust; public relations difficulties; drop in sales; case is an excellent illustration of how even the taint of unethical behavior can be very costly to a firm.
