I-New York State Airline Passenger Bill of Rights ifuna ukusindisa amandiza enhlekeleleni yokuvakasha eyenzeka njalo: ukubaleka endizeni eminyene amahora amaningi— ukuphefumula umoya omile, kungenakudla, kungekho manzi nezindlu zokugeza ezingahlanzekile.
Kepha izolo i-Air Transport Association of America, okuyiqembu lezohwebo elimele inqwaba yabathwali, ifake inselelo yesibili yezomthetho kulo mthetho, ithi imboni yezindiza elawulwa yi-federal akumele ibe ngaphansi komthetho wezwe odinga izinsiza ezincane zabagibeli. phezulu endizeni ephansi. Izikhalazo zombuso zamajaji amathathu zabonakala zivumelana neqembu lezohwebo.
"Ngimangele kaningi ngokuzimisela kwemboni yezindiza," kusho u-Assembly uMichael Gianaris, umbhali walo mthethosivivinywa. “Baqashe abameli benani eliphezulu eWashington ukuthi beze bazophikisana ngokuthi abagibeli abavaleleke endizeni amahora amaningi ngesikhathi esisodwa akufanele bavunyelwe ukusebenzisa indlu yokugezela noma ukuphuza amanzi. Yilapho imboni ichitha khona isikhathi nezinsiza zayo.”
UGianaris angathanda ukuthi izindiza zisebenzise imali ethile ekuhlinzekeni izimo eziphuthumayo zabagibeli abavaleleke etiyeleni. Umthetho wakhe, owasayinwa waba ngumthetho ngonyaka odlule, wawufuna indawo yokuhlala engenalutho njengokudla, amanzi, umoya ohlanzekile, izindlu zangasese ezihlanzekile, nogesi kubantu abagcinwe ezindizeni amahora angaphezu kwamathathu. Umthetho waseNew York State uphinde wesabise abaphula umthetho ngenhlawulo ka-$1,000 umgibeli ngamunye.
Imboni yezindiza ayizange iphumelele inselelo yomthetho ngoDisemba. Nokho amajaji amathathu alalele leli cala izolo abonakale ewungabaza umthetho kahulumeni, ngokusho kwe-Associated Press.
Amajaji athi ayazwelana nezidingo zabagibeli ezindizeni, kodwa abonakala evumelana ngokuthi uhulumeni wobumbano kuphela ongalawula izinsiza zezindiza. IJaji u-Brian M. Cogan uthe umthetho waseNew York ungase uholele ezixazululweni eziningi zezifundazwe ezweni lonke ezingabeka izinkampani zezindiza kuzo zonke izinhlobo zezidingo.
Ijaji uDebra Ann Livingston uvumile.
“Kunenkinga yokuthi zonke izifundazwe kufanele zikhathazeke ngalokhu futhi mhlawumbe zingabhala imithetho ehlukene,” kusho yena.
Nakuba amajaji ayengakasikhiphi isinqumo, iJaji uRichard C. Wesley lasivikela leso sinqumo.
“Lolu wudaba oluyi-pre-emption. Amajaji akubona abantu abangenanhliziyo abagqoke izingubo ezimnyama. Amajaji amathathu kumele athathe isinqumo sokuthi ngabe iNew York yeqe ulayini we-pre-emption,” kusho uWesley.
Kuze kube manje, iNew York iyizwe lokuqala ukudlulisa umthethosivivinywa wamalungelo wabagibeli, yize izifundazwe ezweni lonke zinezikweletu ezifanayo emisebenzini. Inguqulo yenhlangano yomthetho yokusiza abagibeli abavaleleke etiyeleni imile. U-Gianaris ukholelwa ukuthi udaba lwemboni nomthetho wakhe aluhlangene kangako nokuthi umbuso unelungelo lokukuphoqelela yini, futhi kuhlobene kakhulu nomthelela wezezimali wokuba nokudla okulula neziphuzo emkhunjini uma indiza ihlala amahora amaningi imile.
"Kuyindaba elula kubo," kusho uGianaris. Abafuni ukuthola ukuthi kwenziwa kanjani. Iphuzu lami ukuthi lokhu akuyona indaba yokuzikhethela futhi ungagcina imali yokugibela iphansi ngokungavumeli abantu ukuthi basebenzise indlu yokugezela. Lezi yizidingo ezibalulekile futhi akufanele kuxoxwe ngazo.”
Ngemuva kokuqulwa kwecala izolo, uKate Hanni, umongameli weCoalition for an Airline Passengers' Bill of Rights uthe isinqumo sabameli, okulindeleke emasontweni azayo, singaba nomthelela omubi kumthethosivivinywa ezifundazweni zonkana. “Uma iNew York iketulwa konke esikusebenzele kuyachithwa,” kusho yena.
U-Hanni uthe akaqondi ukuthi izinkampani zezindiza zingabonisa kanjani ukunganaki impatho enobuntu yabagibeli. Waqala iqembu elimela abagibeli bendiza kulandela isipiliyoni sakhe esibi sokuvaleleka endizeni ye-American Airlines amahora angaphezu kuka-13 eTexas ngo-2006. Ngesikhathi belindile abagibeli baphuza amanzi kusinki wasendlini yokugezela aze ome futhi babambe amakhala ngemva kwezindlu zangasese. kuchichima. Ababenenhlanhla badle ukudla okulula ababekade bekubeke emaphaketheni abo.
"Iziboshwa zempi zinamalungelo amaningi nge-Geneva Convention kunabagibeli bendiza uma umnyango uvaliwe," kusho yena. “Bathola ukudla, bathole amanzi, nezingubo zokulala, bathole nemithi, benza isiqiniseko sokuthi bathola indawo yokulala thina asiyitholi.”
