Officials at Alaska Airlines said they'll oppose any effort by the federal government to institute a national "Airline Passenger Bill of Rights," saying that the airline already has a "strong commitment in place" to take care of its passengers.
In the wake of reports of JetBlue passengers reportedly stuck on planes for more than 10 hours after a storm hit the East Coast last month, Congress is considering adopting a national Airline Passenger Bill of Rights.
But officials at the subsidiary of Seattle-based Alaska Air Group Inc. said no national mandate is needed and they'll join with the Air Transport Association and other airlines to oppose the "bill of rights" for passengers.
