see to me having aircraft out of position because you had poor planning and poor operation are controllable. Shouldnt call is wx and uncontrollable if 4 days ago a storm caused cancellations and every aircraft and crew are out of position. Only call it uncontrollable if the direct inbound is delayed due to wx your departure city/enroute/arrival has wx causing a ground stop.

also delays triggering compensation should have a time on them such as over 4 hrs or something higher. A 1 hr delay shouldn’t trigger anything. It should be significant delays

 

at some point here (probably already happening) people are going to have to decide between buying food and buying airplane tickets. “Well meaning” policies like this have a real risk of not accomplishing anything actually meaningful for disrupted pax, but being very expensive with detrimental secondary impacts to employee groups.

 

Well they're winding down Spirit.

 

Dear Leader is protecting us from greedy corporations yet again. Rejoice comrades.

Regulation Nation is here.

 

Telling me you never read the fine print on the issued ticket. It's all there in black and white, albeit at pico-font. The ignorance here is on pax who fail to know the terms of conveyance. Perhaps the government should provide some education on that versus placing undo cost burden on airlines. But that would take away a talking point. Most delays (the government keeps stats on that stuff, its easily located at DoT) are due to weather events (acts of God) and/or ATC flow controls. Maintenance issues are usually handled pretty well by most carriers. This is nothing more than government interjecting itself into private business which usually ends up being catastrophic. Really bad idea.

 

Delta has entered the chat.

 

But, but, but I want to throw a temper tantrum. I want it my way. It is very common these days.

 

I too prefer the 2008 style of unregulated catastrophe. The weak and poor get what they deserve, amirite?

 

It's a great move if the DOT is also put under the gun to improve ATC infrastructure.

 

Name 1 policy.

I'll start:

Disney can no longer self-govern its land and properties to the extent that they were. They have to now actually follow State rules as it pertains to building codes and other benefits they had. Those benefits gave them a distinct advantage over the other recreational businesses in FL. (and there are many)


And we like our grade schoolers to learn Math, English and the Sciences vs. having a green haired goblin dedicate class time to pronouns and telling impressionable kids they can choose and change they'll gender at will. Do you know how easy it is to infiltrate the mind of a child. I could have one of my kids in surgery within a month if I so choose. Kids can be persuaded to do and think anything. (Except hopefully mine, mine shoot guns and know boys have a penis and girls have a vagina)

Interesting, Desantis went on local FL television and started reading one of the "banned books". Gender Queer, written by someone who looks like a mix of a boy and a girl. Local news had to cut the live feed for the inappropriate language and pictures in the book that they all thought should be ok for kids.

We also liked not having to wear masks, oh the horror.
