Abstract

The article reports that an administrative rule regarding the airlines' treatment of passengers during tarmac delays was proposed by the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). It notes that the rule enables passengers who feel mistreated to sue the airline in a state court. Furthermore, the proposal is a part of the DOT's November 18, 2008 Notice of Proposed Rule Making to enhance the protections of passengers.
