AIRLINE COMPLAINTS – FILE, FILE, FILE

Help End Unfair Airline Practices

 

The recent United Airlines and American Airlines incidents justify the power and legitimacy of social media to expose unethical airline tactics and procedures. Social media makes airlines accountable for actions that harm consumers.

 

Subsequent to the United Airlines debacle, the White House has warned airlines they are under tight scrutiny to make changes that protect passengers and their rights as consumers. If they don’t make acceptable improvements, the government will step in as they did with the tarmac rule which prevents airlines from keeping passengers “hostage” beyond three hours because of delays.

 

It is important for passengers to report all incidents, including delays, overbooking, lost bags, booking procedures and safety concerns by filing complaints with the Department of Transportation. The government can thereafter enact rules that stop these unfair & possibly, illegal practices.

LANDING SLOTS

Incentive for good airline practices

 

To keep airlines consumer friendly, how about allowing the Department of Transportation to take away and reward coveted landing slots to airlines based on their performance and customer practices?  For example, take 5 United landing slots at LAX or LGA for their latest incident. When they show major improvement, allow them to reapply for the slots after one year.  Just a thought.
