More Disclosure needed
 

I think the government got sidetracked yet again when they slowed down their pursuit of having the major airlines disclose more information on the airlines doing their codeshares. The Buffalo Q 400 crash has brought this to light along with a plethora of other important issues, but let's concentrate on the codeshare and their partners. I for one can't believe that there are not many lawsuits concerning this matter in regular terms. For one, I do research when I book a ticket that requires a stop, which airline will be doing the actual flying and what equipment is expected. I would be beside myself if I booked a trans pacific flight on Cathay Pacific and came to the gate and saw a United plane there, sorry no offense to United, but I have my preference. The same applies to John Q Public while transiting the USA. I don't believe that the public is aware or as informed as it should be. I do not have a law background, but isn't there something wrong with 2 certificates colluding with their schedules and pricing. How can one certificate holder influence another's. If one airline is buying aircraft and letting another airline fly them, albeit at a much lower cost, how is that allowed to continue. There seems something intrinsically wrong with that.
