USA's proposed Airline passenger protection rules.

[drron]

I have been reading a series of articles on this and some may find it interesting(though a bit repetitive).The first article-
New tarmac delay contingency plans
I did find the photo to be a little out of context.Certainly doesn't look like a pic of an USA airport-

Hopefully links to some of the other articles in this series-
• Chris Elliott continues his series about the new DOT proposed rulemaking This series about the biggest change in consumer rights when it comes to air travel is must reading for anyone serious about travel: Revealing fees and airfares together, full airfare disclosure, denied boarding compensation, international customer service, contract of carriage

An interesting part is the proposed denied boarding compensation-

The most important point for air travelers, as correctly pointed out by all of those headline-writers, is that the amount of denied boarding compensation would go up. The department proposed revising the minimum amounts by using the Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), rounded to the nearest $25, with the base of $200/$400 for the maximum DBC amounts in the year 1978.
That would bring the maximum DBC amounts for involuntarily oversold passengers to $650/$1,300 as of January 1, 2010.
