"Schumer introduced legislation last week that would require travel and airline Web sites to disclose which company actually operates a flight. He wants the information disclosed at the time of ticket sales, not when passengers are preparing to board."
Uhh, don't they already do that? I know US airways always shows the operating carrier.

Well we all know that people lose some kind of mental capacity when it comes to traveling, and likely just notice the mainline airline logo on the website, if even that. Seems like this clown wants to make it more apparent which airline you're actually flying. All people really care about anyway is the lowest number under the "$" column.

I was jumpseating into EWR one day. Pax sitting next to me kept talking about the great fare he got to got to wherever. When we landed in EWR he looked over and saw the Kallita 747s parked on the north side. Then he said to me excitedly, "Hey where do those guys fly"! Although, I will never know for sure. All I could sense was that he thought he just discovered the newest ultra low fare carrier!
What Shumer doesn't understand, or doesn't want to understand, is it is the job of the federal government to protect the public from their own ignorance. Some smoke and mirrors legislation may look good for his political campaign, but it won't produce any real change in the long run.

Probably the only reason they don't is because Frontier doesn't use any contract carriers.
