Regionals urge DoT to reconsider tarmac rule

With cancellation statistics showing that regional flights are far more likely to be cancelled than mainline flights, the Regional Airline Association, on the last day of the comment period on the proposed consumer rule, urged the Department of Transportation to reconsider its rulemaking popularly known as the tarmac rule. However, given the department's continually wrong-headed harping on the success of the rule, reconsideration is unlikely.
