jetblue bill of rights debut

[citrus jock]

This may be a good idea: I'd rather have all the clueless ones (gov't, media, consumer advocates, etc.) meeting to figure out ways to control the weather than have them meeting to pass legislation affecting all airlines (when all airlines didn't make the mistakes that JetBlue says it made). I believe JetBlue did make some mistakes, but it's claiming responsibility for more than is necessary. And, that's their choice. If I (as PIC) am responsibile for passenger safety (as the FARs currently read), then decisions affecting safety (can we safely go back to the gate?) must rest with me. What hasn't been addressed with this "Passenger Bill of Rights" nonsense is are we also going to change the FARs, or are we going to have conflicting laws? Without changing the FARs, I could find myself in the situation of violating one law in order to follow another.

The problem is YOU!!! The flying public is to lazy to take action and as is becoming typical wants Government to do it for them. It's your money and there is more than one airline. If you get taken advantage and don't fight back it's YOUR FAULT that you're treated like self loading Cargo.

When you as a consumer take ownership and seek redress then and only then will you see airlines change.

This CAN NOT be the same PineyBob who has thousands of posts on the LCC board about how terrible LCC is, and how terribly LCC treats him, and claims to be captive to LCC due to its flight schedule despite having dozens of other airlines fly out of his home airport . . .

. . . can it? :blink:
