Crunch time in Washington for passenger rights and fee transparency Posted: 25 Feb 2011 04:39 AM PST We are entering the endgame for the proposed passenger rights regulations and for Congressional action to mandate airline fee transparency. Nothing is set in stone at this time. Department of Transportation (DOT) activities with the rulemaking evidently have been moved from the depths of the department to the Secretary's office and will be sent to the Office of Management and Budget. The FAA bill is moving through Congress.

Remarks before the ABA Forum on Air and Space Law Posted: 24 Feb 2011 07:30 AM PST Yesterday, I spoke before the American Bar Associaton Forum on Air & Space Law update conference in Washington, DC. I was part of a panel discussing airline consumer rights and the state of the industry after the tarmac-delay rules. I was part of the panel because I have been clear about my belief that there is far more to passenger rights than simply tarmac-delays.
