| | | | | The last word on a new Rule 240 and airline consumer protections | | Do we need a new Rule 240, which would require airlines to accept passengers from an airline that goes out of business? We do, but I wouldn't bet on getting it, as I mentioned in this morning’s commentary. Airlines for America will roll out the same talking point it always does when consumer protection comes up: that any new mandate will raise costs for travelers. The airline industry has spent two decades building a business model that depends on the public absorbing every risk, from air traffic control problems to bankruptcy fallout, while it keeps the upside. That needs to end. | | | | 🔔 Here's what you missed this week | | Aeromexico offered him a “free” flight change. Then it refused to give him one. Jorrit Muller says his flight from Puerto Vallarta to Orlando fit his schedule perfectly. He had to be at a wedding early in the day, and flight 335 left in the early afternoon. |
