Here we go again. Congress is trying to pass yet another Federal Aviation Administration reauthorization bill, a rare opportunity to help airline passengers by enacting meaningful consumer protections.
You could almost hear a collective groan from the traveling public last week when United Airlines CEO Oscar Munoz promised a congressional hearing that his airline would “do better” in the wake of the David Dao dragging incident.
Better than what, exactly?
Trouble on the road? Maybe the government can help. He did a double take when he saw the name on his airline ticket: “Donald Jeffries.”
Will the real airfare transparency bill please stand up? Passengers may be forgiven for asking that question last week.
The TSA is doomed. You’ll have to at least agree that the agency as we know can’t continue to exist as it does.
You don’t have to read the 59-page congressional report on the Transportation Security Administration’s shortcomings, released on the 11th anniversary of 9/11, to conclude the agency has “become its own worst enemy.”
The days of the Transportation Security Administration’s controversial “enhanced” pat-downs may be numbered.
