Passengers Rights Groups Joins Union Pushing For Aviation Reform - 06/07/07

By Doug Cunningham

A passengers rights group has joined the AFA-CWA flight attendants union in urging Congress to make changes in aviation policy on ho long passengers have to stay onboard planes when there are delays in the flight schedule. The Coalition for A Passengers Bill of Rights wants Congress to enforce a deplanement policy, upgrade the air traffic control system, standardize carry-on baggage policies and provide a safer working environment for flight attendants.
