US: A4A CE calls Senate FAA bill ‘wolf in sheep’s clothing’
A4A president and CE Nicholas Calio slammed proposals circulating in the US Congress that he said “look a lot like pre-1978” regulation of the US airline industry. Calio reiterated his strong criticism of the Senate’s proposed FAA reauthorisation bill and other airline customer-service proposals in Congress, such as one to regulate seat size on commercial aircraft. He called the proposed consumer-protection measures a “wolf in sheep’s clothing” that “will make flying more expensive and reduce service, especially to small- and medium-sized markets.” Calio added, “Members of Congress, with all due respect, if you to want to run an airline, buy some aircraft—and good luck getting slots at [Washington] National Airport.” <br/>
