US Airways CEO Parker: We can only blame ourselves for new tarmac rules
Thu, Apr 29, 2010
TEMPE, Ariz. -- Thursday is the day that the new rules on tarmac delays begin, the ones that require airlines to let off passengers if a flight has been held on the ground for at least three hours.
The new rule from the U.S. Department of Transportation has upset many in the airline industry. But Doug Parker, chairman and CEO of US Airways, says the airline industry can blame only itself.
Linkage to the rest
1) Tarmac delay incidents have not been a big issue at US.
2) Didn't Tempe seek an exemption from this law, and was denied?
