Aero-News Quote of the Day
"...the one year reunion and press conference planned to
commemorate the incident that spurred the popular airline
passengers' rights movement in the U.S. has been canceled. The City
of Austin, its airport and the Airport Hilton declined to welcome
The Coalition for an Airline Passengers Bill of Rights
(CAPBOR)."
Source: From a statement by The Coalition for
an Airline Passengers Bill of Rights (CAPBOR)... December 29, 2007
will mark the one year anniversary of the stranding in Austin.
Coalition members had planned to return to the city to thank its
citizens for their kindness and hospitality last year.
Unfortunately, the City of Austin Aviation Department declined to
allow the organization to hold a press conference anywhere on
airport property. The Airport Hilton Hotel also refused to allow
the coalition to hold a press conference there. Hmmm... sounds like
someone is using a chapter from the official "Sun 'n Fun Guide to
Censorship" (grin).
