Maybe It is Time For Re-Regulation!
Deregulation has always been seen as a positive for the airline industry. But in reality, we actually have more reguations than ever... only it is the airlines making all their own rules. How can we really call this deregualtion. What we actually have is far more incidious... self-regulation. I believe the time has come for some re-regualtion.... not for the Feds to say who can fly what routes and what the cost will be, but for some standard rules of protection from all the "regulations" imposed on us by the airlines... arbitrary rules that have no legal backing... Back to backs, nonrefundability, standby rules etc.
It is time for some regulations to protect the customer!
