Airline: Passenger Rights? Patchwork Quilt! (Shall We Keep Sewing?)

Filed under: Leg Room, Passenger Rights, Passengers — anne @ 11:22 am

You all know Kate Hanni, crusader for passenger rights, stuck on the tarmac for blah blah blah…

Don’t get me wrong, she’s doing the right thing. She’s been yakkin’ about this, and lo! New York passed a Passenger Rights Bill. Now 6-other states have intro’d similar bills (Washington, Indiana, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and Michigan).

But an airline exec (Alaska) testified that this will mean a “patchwork quilt” of laws, and impossible to comply with…

He could be right.

On the other hand…I used to think it was impossible to fly with leg-room suitable only for a chihuahua. Make of that what you will.

Keep sewing that patchwork, sister. Feds, you listening?
