Starting Oct 19, the Trump administration is rolling back Biden-era airline passenger protections, and airlines will no longer have to provide stranded passengers with meals, hotels, or other assistance for delays or cancellations.
Airlines are no longer required lodging, meals, or other assistance when delays or cancellations.
Starting October 19, under 14 CFR 234.4, rule is to reduce the number of disruptions for which airlines provide amenities or compensation.

No airport worker should be forced to work in dangerous extreme heat. We deserve more than voluntary guidelines.
We demand Arizona establish ENFORCEABLE heat standards:
👉🏽 Cool water and air
👉🏽 Shade
👉🏽 Rest when conditions become dangerous
👉🏽 Heat-safety training

“I’m fighting hard alongside Senator Markey to make sure airport workers finally get the compensation they deserve, which will make our infrastructure even stronger in Massachusetts and across the country.”

Congrats to @SEIUTX airport service workers who stuck together in their union and WON better pay! Airport service workers, whether baggage handlers or others on the tarmac, play a vital role to ensure we get to our destination and have often faced vicious heat this summer while doing so. We’ve earned pay increases that keep up with the cost of living and THIS is what we can win when we fight for better! seiu.co/4wq94QS

Airport service workers keep our airports running & are standing up for money, power, & respect. While airlines reward CEOs with massive pay, workers are demanding an end to poverty wages.
Pass the Good Jobs for Good Airports Act for fair wages, healthcare & paid time off!

.@PHXSkyHarbor, we appreciate the recognition but standing with airport workers in our fight for $25/hour would go much further!

Delta can afford to pay their CEO $27 million.
But a complimentary water bottle is where they draw the line.

OMG air travel complaints soared from 4500 in Oct to 29,000 in Dec 2025.
Confirming FlyersRights contention that air travel in crisis under leadership of @SecDuffy

Bottom line- airlines pay very low taxes and would be unprofitable but for fees and credit card income that comes indirectly from passengers paying high interest rates up to 29%. Passengers also pay far more taxes than airlines to the federal government.

United Airlines paid $0 income tax in 2025 on $4.3 billion in profits, Southwest $0 on $560 billion profit. Only Delta paid $1.2 billion on $6.2 billion profit. Passengers pay about 22% ticket taxes or $20 billion but airline fees are untaxed.

While @SecDuffy brags about 8,000 gamers signed up to be air traffic controllers, three shocking actual numbers show how badly the system is failing, putting passengers at risk.
-since 2024 the shortage has grown from 3,000 to 3,800 and rising
-of 200,000 recruits over last decade only 2% became fully trained and qualified
-under the current testing, initial 4-6 months training, and practice regimen it requires up to 6 years at low pay to be fully qualified under FAA system

Why does Secretary Duffy and FAA refuse to meet with FlyersRights and independent ATC experts on real solutions to controller shortages, rapidly becoming a crisis?
