Airline Passengers Bill Of Rights

Growing Federal Regulations Under Joe Biden, Essential To Continue!

admin 1 Comment

President Joe Biden is presiding over growing federal regulations that benefit the American people.

The Department of Transportation under Pete Buttigieg is moving to give more rights to airline passengers to receive compensation for delayed or canceled flights.

The Federal Trade Commission is banning most employers from utilizing abusive non-compete clauses in many fields of work, which have made it impossible for employees who leave jobs to work at competitors who are in the same residential area.

The nursing home industry also is being required by the Department of Health and Human Services to have a registered nurse on staff at all times, due to the horrendous lack of concern and care for the elderly and disabled who live in terrible conditions.

Of course, there may be Supreme Court cases trying to reverse these and other regulatory actions, so the battle on federal regulations never ends!

About Time: Airline Passengers Bill Of Rights Announced!

A great Christmas gift from the Obama Administration is the announcement by Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood that no longer will airlines be allowed to keep passengers on planes on tarmacs longer than three hours without providing relief.

It has been an outrage that passengers have been kept locked in planes on tarmacs for up to 12 hours without any provision for food, water and clean bathroom facilities.

This is a long overdue move that will have unanimous support from everyone, as airlines have been abusing their passengers. Now they will be forced to accomodate passengers or face fines.

Specifically, they must provide food and water after two hours and allow passengers off the plane after three hours, or face fines per passenger of $27,500!

On the average, 1,500 flights per year in domestic travel have had this problem, and about 114,000 passengers have been inconvenienced. The new rules take effect in four months, and hopefully there will be few abuses on this issue until it goes into effect.
