Well, there isn't a DOT version of CAA is Taiwan so the airlines are only being overseen by CAA.
As of current, complaints in relations to airlines are actually being sent to FAA if the ticket is purchased directly with airline (if via travel agency it goes to Tourism Bureau).
Obviously if its regarding to a flight to US I'd rather go to DOT or quote EU261 if applicable for a Euro-bound flight.
