From the Notice of Proposed Rulemaking, in the Federal Register Today:

The amendment to § 61.71(c) would
not only provide the legal basis for
expansion of the FAA–TCCA BASA/
IPL, but would also allow similar
BASA/IPL arrangements with other
ICAO Contracting States, as determined
by the Administrator in the interest of
safety. Therefore, the FAA revises
§ 61.71 to allow holders of foreign pilot
licenses to convert to U.S. pilot
certificates where the U.S. Government
and the foreign government have
concluded a BASA and associated IPL.

DOT Fines JetBlue for Violating Price Advertising Rules
The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined JetBlue Airways $50,000 for violating federal aviation laws and the Department’s rules prohibiting deceptive price advertising in air travel.

“When passengers shop for an airline ticket, they have a right to know the full price they will have to pay,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “We expect airlines to treat their passengers fairly and will take enforcement action when our rules are violated.”

The Department’s Aviation Enforcement Office found that for a period of time in early 2011, JetBlue displayed fare advertisements on several websites that did not provide any information on additional taxes and fees. Consumers clicking on the advertisements were taken to a page where a list of routes and prices were displayed, along with a statement that taxes and fees would be added to the fare. However, the statement was not a link, and consumers had to scroll to the bottom of the page or click a link next to each of the listed fares to see, listed in fine print, the amount of the additional taxes and fees they would have to pay.

JetBlue’s website violated DOT rules requiring any advertising that includes a price for air transportation to state the full price to be paid by the consumer, including all carrier-imposed surcharges. The only exception currently allowed is government-imposed taxes and fees that are assessed on a per-passenger basis, such as passenger facility charges, which may be stated separately from the advertised fare but must be clearly disclosed in the advertisement so that passengers can easily determine the full price they must pay. Internet fare listings may disclose these separate taxes and fees through a prominent link next to the fare stating that government taxes and fees are extra, and the link must take the viewer directly to information where the type and amount of taxes and fees are displayed.

Under DOT’s recently adopted consumer rule that enhances protections for air travelers, carriers will be required, among other things, to include all government taxes and fees in every advertised fare beginning Jan. 24, 2012.

Emirates Fined for Improperly Limiting Reimbursements for Delayed Baggage

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined the Dubai-based airline Emirates $100,000 for limiting compensation for lost, damaged, and delayed baggage to less than consumers were entitled under an international treaty.

“All air passengers, regardless of whether they are taking domestic or international flights, deserve to be compensated fairly for lost, damaged or delayed baggage,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. “We will continue to take enforcement action when necessary to protect airline consumers.”

Under the Montreal Convention, an international agreement that sets liability limits for international air transportation, airlines are liable for damages caused by lost, delayed or damaged baggage up to a limit that is the equivalent of approximately $1,820 in U.S. currency unless the carrier has taken all reasonable measures to prevent the damage or it was impossible to take these measures. The Convention forbids carriers from setting a lower baggage compensation limit for international flights, and does not allow carriers to refuse to provide compensation for jewelry, electronics or other specific types of items. U.S. aviation statutes require airlines to comply with the Convention.

Based on a consumer complaint received by DOT, the Department’s Office of Aviation Enforcement and Proceedings investigated Emirates’ handling of baggage claims for flights to or from the United States and found numerous violations of the Montreal Convention. In many cases, Emirates denied reimbursement for expensive items such as lost electronics, jewelry, and cameras. In its written responses to passengers, Emirates stated that its contract of carriage limited its liability for such items and incorrectly claimed that its practice complied with the Convention. Emirates’ website also stated that the carrier was not liable for valuables damaged while in the carrier’s custody. In addition, the carrier often provided limited or no compensation for costs related to delayed baggage while claiming in responses to passengers that limiting compensation was allowed by the Convention.

U.S. Department of Transportation’s Expanded Airline Passenger Protections Take Effect

WASHINGTON – New consumer protections for airline passengers established by the U.S. Department of Transportation go into effect today, and will make flying more convenient and hassle-free for air travelers nationwide. The new consumer protections, finalized earlier this year, include requirements that airlines refund baggage fees if bags are lost, increase compensation provided to passengers bumped from oversold flights, and provide passengers greater protections from lengthy tarmac delays.

“The Obama Administration believes consumers have the right to be treated fairly when they fly,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. “The Department of Transportation's new passenger protections will help ensure that air travelers receive the respect they deserve before, during and after their flight.”

Effective today, airlines will be required to refund any fee for carrying a bag if the bag is lost. Airlines are already required to compensate passengers for reasonable expenses for loss, damage or delay in the carriage of passenger baggage. Under the new rules, airlines must now prominently disclose all optional fees on their websites, including but not limited to fees for baggage, meals, canceling or changing reservations, or advanced or upgraded seating.

The new rules also double the amount of money passengers are eligible to be compensated for in the event they are involuntarily bumped from an oversold flight. Previously, bumped passengers were entitled to cash compensation equal to the one-way value of their tickets, up to $400, if the airline was able to get them to their destination within a short period of time (within 1 to 2 hours of their originally scheduled arrival time for domestic flights and 1 to 4 hours for international flights). If they were delayed for a lengthy period of time (more than two hours after their originally scheduled arrival time for domestic flights and 4 hours for international flights), they were entitled to double the one-way price of their tickets, up to $800. Under the new rule, bumped passengers subject to short delays will receive compensation equal to double the one-way price of their tickets, up to $650, while those subject to longer delays would receive payments of four times the one-way value of their tickets, up to $1,300. Inflation adjustments will be made to those compensation limits every two years.

The Department of Transportation’s new rule also expands the existing ban on lengthy tarmac delays to cover the international flights of foreign airlines at U.S. airports, and establishes a hard four-hour time limit on tarmac delays for all international flights at U.S. airports. It also extends the three-hour tarmac delay limit for domestic flights, currently in place only at large-hub and medium-hub airports, to flights at small-hub and non-hub airports as well. All carriers subject to the tarmac rule will be required to report lengthy tarmac delays to DOT. In all cases, exceptions to the time limits are allowed only for safety, security or air traffic control-related reasons. Carriers must also ensure that passengers stuck on the tarmac are provided adequate food and water after two hours, as well as working lavatories and any necessary medical treatment.

Additional measures under the new rule will take effect January 24, 2012, including:

•· Requiring all taxes and fees to be included in advertised fares.
•· Banning post-purchase price increases.
•· Allowing passengers to hold a reservation without payment, or to cancel it without penalty, for 24 hours after the reservation is made, if the reservation is made one week or more prior to a flight’s departure date.
•· Requiring disclosure of baggage fees when passengers book a flight.
•· Requiring that the same baggage allowances and fees apply throughout a passenger’s journey.
•· Requiring disclosure of baggage fee information on e-ticket confirmations.
•· Requiring prompt notification of delays of over 30 minutes, as well as cancellations and diversions.

And the home of the . . .BRAVE. . . .Not so much, anymore.

I'm going to ask readers of this blog to do something today, for themselves and for their country and for the men and women who serve so bravely in the wars we are conducting abroad. I'm going to ask you to pass this story along to everyone you know and love and who might be able to bring their own influence to bear upon a deeply regretable episode in our nation's history. We are better than this.

I'm also going to ask you to get in touch with this Immigration lawyer,

Ira J. Kurzban.

To see if there is anything we can do to liberate this young man.

I happen to know a few 8 year olds and I can tell you, they take my word for everything, and it would not occur to them to do otherwise. And I believe this young man's story. And I am filled with shame. Shame for what we do, to those who come when called.

This past weekend, the NYTimes Sunday Magazine carried the story of Jose Antonio Vargas, an illegal immigrant from the Phillipines (and Pultizer Prize Winner while at the Washington Post) who has outed himself as chasing the American Dream without the requisite paperwork. In case you missed it in print, See it here.

Update:

US Drops Deportation Proceedings against Same Sex Marrigage Immigrant.

Now, how about extending that to men and women who have served this country in a time of war? Both are the right things to do. And while you're at it: How about abandoning this idea that you can take a kid away from the only family he's ever known and send him away? How do you think that would feel to a kid? Think he might internalize the trauma and think he's done something bad? Maybe think it's his fault? You can require them to undo this Neanderthal Policy, I know you can.Change always starts with US. If we don't lay down for it, they can't make it stick. Send an email to your Senator, tell him to vote FOR the Dream Act, or he'll be looking for another job. Here's the link:

FAA Proposes $155,000 in Civil Penalties Against American Eagle Airlines

FORT WORTH, Texas – The Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) is proposing $155,000 in civil penalties against American Eagle Airlines of Fort Worth, Texas for allegedly operating eight flights with incorrect weight and balance data, and for using improper maintenance procedures when repairing a jet engine and then operating the aircraft when it was not in compliance with FAA regulations.

FAA inspectors observed 12 American Eagle flights arriving at Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport, Dec. 28-29, 2010. In eight instances, loading documents for checked luggage did not match observations made by the inspector.

American Eagle’s FAA-approved weight and balance program calls for the use of an automated Electronic Weight and Balance System (EWBS) to make sure aircraft are operated with correct weight and balance information. However, accurate data must be entered for the EWBS to function properly.

Operators may not exceed an aircraft’s weight limit when loading the plane and the weight must be distributed so that the aircraft remains in balance during the flight. The FAA alleges American Eagle entered inaccurate data in the EWBS, then operated the aircraft with incorrect weight and balance information. The proposed civil penalty is $80,000.

The FAA also alleges American Eagle used improper procedures to repair an engine on one of its Embraer 135 regional jets, and that a mechanic signed off as “complete” on work he had not performed. As a result, American Eagle operated the aircraft on 34 flights between Sept.11 and Sept. 17, 2010, when it was not in compliance with regulations. The proposed civil penalty is $75,000.

American Eagle has 30 days from the receipt of the FAA’s enforcement letters to respond to the agency.

DOT Fines United Airlines for Providing Inaccurate Information About Baggage Liability

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined United Airlines $20,000 for providing inaccurate information to passengers about how much compensation they could potentially receive for lost, damaged or delayed baggage on international flights.

“Both domestic and international travelers have a right to know how much they might be compensated for lost or delayed baggage,” U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood said. “We are committed to protecting airline consumers, and we will continue to take enforcement action when necessary.”

Under the Montreal Convention, an international agreement that sets liability limits for international air transportation, airlines are liable for damages caused by lost, damaged or delayed baggage up to a 1,131 Special Drawing Rights (SDRs) per passenger, an amount that is currently the equivalent of just over $1,800 in U.S. currency. In November 2009, the Department’s Aviation Enforcement Office notified U.S. and foreign carriers that the international liability limit would be increased from 1,000 SDRs to the new limit effective Dec. 30, 2009, and advised them to revise their notices to passengers to reflect the change.

In January 2011, the Department’s Aviation Enforcement Office learned that United had given a number of passengers ticket wallets printed after the increase took effect that continued to list the old figure of 1,000 SDRs as the limit on baggage liability. However, the Enforcement Office found no evidence that United had used the old liability limit when handling baggage-related claims after the increase went into effect.

The consent order is available on the Internet at Regulations.

DOT Fines Air Canada for Violating Price Advertising Rules

The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) today fined Air Canada $50,000 for violating the Department’s rules prohibiting deceptive price advertising in air travel.

“When passengers buy an airline ticket, they have a right to know how much they will have to pay,” said U.S. Transportation Secretary Ray LaHood. “We take our airline price advertising rules seriously and will take enforcement action when they are violated.”

The Department’s Aviation Enforcement Office found that Air Canada, for a period of time in early 2011, displayed advertisements on its websites that did not disclose the amount of taxes and fees that passengers would have to pay in addition to the advertised fare or lead the consumer directly to the information on these taxes and fees. Consumers clicking on the ads were taken to a page on Air Canada’s website where a list of routes and prices were displayed, but consumers could not find details of the additional taxes and fees unless they scrolled to the bottom of the page where the information was shown in fine print.

Air Canada’s advertisements violated DOT rules requiring any advertising that includes a price for air transportation to state the full price to be paid by the consumer, including all carrier-imposed surcharges. The only exception currently allowed is government-imposed taxes and fees that are assessed on a per-passenger basis, such as passenger facility charges, which may be stated separately from the advertised fare but must be clearly disclosed in the advertisement so that passengers can easily determine the full price they must pay. These rules apply to both U.S. and foreign carriers.

Under DOT’s recently adopted consumer rule that enhances protections for air travelers, carriers will be required, among other things, to include all government taxes and fees in advertised fares beginning Jan. 24, 2012.
