Not sure it’s fair to blame him for decades of deregulation and infrastructure neglect. Yes the burden is on him and his dept to address these things but it’s kinda hard to put Boeings prioritizing profits over safety and quality control on him isn’t it?
The previous transportation secretary was Mitch McConnells wife Elaine Chao. Can you tell us what she accomplished?
I know it's not fair to blame him for everything.
Correct. That is what already happens. Now with this new reg airlines have to come up with a mechanisms for instant, automatic refunds regardless of how the tickets were purchased (through the airline, ticket broker, travel agent, package deals, etc.). And delays can have all kinds causes out of the control of airlines. Will some delays be exempt? Which ones? Who decides?
So the cost of flying going up for everyone is worth it to you because at some point in the future there’s a tiny tiny chance that your flight gets canceled and you don’t want to have to make a phone call to get your refund?
Your assumption of flights going up is only a guess. Maybe they will be efficient or eat the costs like a good capitalist. Wasting time jumping through corporate hoops to get your money back might be ok for you. But it is a problem for most other people.
Airfare prices haven't changed much at all over the decades. It's classic shrinkflation . . . . the product gets smaller and worse quality
I haven't read the article posted but IIRC this is a holdover from the pandemic when the airlines cancelled flights and didn't issue refunds and used the pandemic as the excuse. I heard about this on an NPR segment a few years ago where they specifically called out The Booty Judge.
Timing is sus that's for sure
And kick-proof windows on Teslas her sister couldn't kick out when she Tesla'd into a pond and 86'd herself off the planet?
Uhhh. Rail, Aviation and Maritime are all under his purview.
