Comments on: Customer service plans http://archive.regulationroom.org/airline-passenger-rights/customer-service-plans-2/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=customer-service-plans-2 From June 2 – September 23, the Department of Transportation took public comments on a proposed new set of airline passenger rights. DOT partnered with Regulation Room to offer people an easy way to learn about and have their say on this proposal. More than Regulation Room 19,000 visitors posted over 900 comments. The Regulation Room team summarized these comments and submitted the <a href="http://archive.regulationroom.org/airline-passenger-rights/final-summary/">final summary</a> to DOT. On April 21, DOT announced its decision. Regulation Room comments played an important part in shaping the <a href="http://archive.regulationroom.org/airline-passenger-rights/agency-documents/final-rule/">final rule</a> that gives airline passengers significant new protections.

However, this is not the time to argue your position. At this point in the process, the goal is to get our commenters to ensure that the summaries fully capture the comments in the discussion, so that the summary we submit to the DOT is complete. If you think we missed something from the discussion, click on the paragraph you think needs work and leave a comment.

Too often I have had to wait over 15 minutes before an electronic operator appears and then spend another 15 minutes punching numbers in response to questions that ultimately are useless in resolving whatever issue I have, being forced to wait longer until finally getting a real persons, who many times is unable to resolve my problem, forcing me to either call again to get a more professional and learned person, or ask for a supervisor who sometimes is as unhelpful as the first person.
