Airlines are now believed make much higher profits from baggage, change fees and other ancillary fees than from airfares.The DOT also withdrew a rulemaking to require airlines disclose profits on ancillary fees.
Paul Hudson, president of FlyersRights.org the largest airline passenger organization, noted,
"This is NOT how you make air travel great again.Airlines are already exempt from all state and local consumer protection, much antitrust law, most other federal regulations and tort law.The DOT is their sole regulator.If the DOT refuses to correct abuses or enforce existing regulations (as happened in the Dr. Dao case new.flyersrights.org/uncategorized/winds-of-change/ ), and repeals existing regulations, airlines will be the first US industry to have stripped the public of all economic protections from unfair predatory practices.Only Congress and the federal courts can now override this unfortunate DOT decision."
