So Biden’s bill doesn’t work. What a surprise.
Because that’s what consumers want from an already tumultuous and declining service provider.
Guess Republicans are getting so much money from airline lobbyists
Then y are we try to overturn this fees transparencies? Dem 80% n Reoublicant 90% want transparencies. We need to block this dumb bill in the House!
Why is this not considered false advertising?
Its about time this bill gets enacted now.
Democrats can't let these corporations down.
GOP fighting for the rich. Will never pass the senate.
corporate america would eat poor people alive
Of course it's a GOP bill. Who's sliding Benjamin's in who's back pocket(s) for this one? Consumers will lose on this one. Thank God Democrats control the Senate. This insanely obvious grift will be DOA once it hits Schumer's desk.
What they don't report is who authored the bill and how much airlines bribe politicians. And we are dead in the Senate with Witch Sinema and Republican Joe manchin. The Grand omissions of Network reporting.
Expedia standing with the customer? What a joke. Last time I booked a flight to Seattle, which was first shown as $200-ish, but once I click into it, it says "the price has changed" to $300-ish. Their display price is just so unreliable, regardless of whether they display the price with tax or not. Their seat reservation doesn't work either.
I 100% guarantee this is a GOP-developed provision to the Bill.
When I use the airlines in Canada the price is all in, it used to be the advertised fare was the base cost but it changed years ago.
airlines LOBBY CORRUPTION SCHEME!!! politicians are delusional!!! selling americans to companies
Why? Why can't they be honest about the final price upfront? I swear this government is out to get us! First the criminalize buying your own cars, then they mandate insurance for everybody, then they want to make the already crooked practices of big brand companies even more crooked?
What we want to know is who add the provision to the bill?
