Nye regler for passasjerer og flyselskaper i USA

[Someone]

Som en del av reformen av FAA har amerikanske myndigheter vedtatt en rekke regler som påvirker både passasjerer og flyselskaper. Blant annet skal det komme minimumskrav til seteavstand og setebredde, mobilsamtaler vil ikke bli tillatt, nye hvileregler for kabinansatte og en rekke annet

• Prohibits airlines from "bumping" passengers who've already boarded a plane.
• Requires the FAA to set minimum standards for seat width and seat pitch.
• Establishes minimum standards for how much rest time flight attendants get between shifts.
• Makes it illegal to store a dog or other animal in an overhead bin.
• Prohibits passengers from using mobile phones to make voice calls during flight.
• Bans e-cigarettes from planes.
• Requires airlines to refund passengers for "services they paid for but did not receive."
• Mandates that airlines must allow passengers to check strollers if they are traveling with small children.
• Requires the government to look into whether it's "unfair or deceptive " when airilnes say flights are delayed due to weather, when there are actually other factors involved.
• Lets the FAA require airlines to let pregnant women board airplanes first.
• Creates a task force to study sexual harassment and misconduct among airline employees.
• Increases the penalties for interfering with cabin crew or flight crew.
• Requires the FAA to consider whether to allow supersonic airplanes over the continental U.S.
• Allows the Justice Department, Homeland Security, and other federal law enforcement to hack or shoot down privately owned drones if they deem them a threat.
• Also requires the FAA to work on regulations to allow "regular flights of package-delivery drones," like what Amazon wants to do.
• Authorizes $1.68 billion for relief for Hurricane Florence, which hit the Carolinas last month.
• Requires the FAA to set up an "Office of Spaceports."
• Tells the FAA to set up an "aviation consumer advocate," so that when you have something bad happen to you on an airplane, and you don't know who to tell, you'll have at least have someone to complain to.

Dette virket jo faktisk stort sett fornuftig.

Det er et tankekors at dette er myndighetspålagte krav. Mye av dette burde være selvsagt.
