Baninzi kakhulu abakhweli abavaleleke kwiinqwelomoya zorhwebo e-United States ngokulibaziseka, iqela lamalungelo abakhweli bomoya lathi ngoLwesithathu.
I-FlyersRights.org, ekukhupheni oko ikubiza ngokuba likhadi lengxelo yomthengi wokuhamba ngomoya, yathi kukho ngaphezulu kwe-1,200 imida yetarmac - apho abakhweli bavaleleke kwiinqwelomoya kwiindlela zeenqwelomoya - ngo-2008.
I-Delta Air Lines inelona nani likhulu lokulibaziseka kwetha ngaphezu kweeyure ezintathu. I-Southwest Airlines inikwe ireyithi yeyona nto ingcono yokuphatha ukulibaziseka ngokuvumela abathengi ukuba behle kwiinqwelomoya ezilibazisekileyo, kunye nokubonelela ngokutya, amanzi kunye nezinye izinto.
Ukulibaziseka okude kakhulu umbutho ufumene indiza ye-Delta kaJanuwari 2008 ukusuka e-Atlanta, eGeorgia, ukuya eFlorida, apho abagibeli balinda kwi-tarmac ngaphezu kweeyure ze-10 ngaphandle kokutya kunye namanzi.
"Baninzi kakhulu abantu baseMelika abavaleleke ngaphakathi kwiinqwelomoya ezivaliweyo, bevaleleke kwiityhubhu ezikwitarmac, iiyure ezintathu nangaphezulu," utshilo uMlawuli oyiNtloko weFlyersRights.org uKate Hanni. "Lixesha lokuba iCongress inike abakhweli beenqwelomoya ilungelo elisemthethweni lokuphuma kwiinqwelomoya ezibambeke emhlabeni iiyure ezintathu nangaphezulu."
U-Hanni - obesoloko efuna i-bill yamalungelo abakhweli benqwelomoya - ukwathe imeko yezoqoqosho yaseMelika iye yandisa iingxaki abathengi abajongana nazo kwiinqwelomoya ngenxa yokudelwa.
“Iinqwelomoya zizama ukugcina okanye ukwandisa imida yazo yengeniso,” utshilo. "Bazehlise zonke iimpahla zabo kunye neenkonzo ezinxulumene nokubhabha."
Wongeze ukuba ukuhamba ngenqwelomoya ngexesha elifanelekileyo “ayisiyonto nje yokunceda abantu, ngumcimbi wokhuseleko loluntu.”
Ndiyazibuza ukuba ingaba iqhawe likaKapteni uChesley 'Sully' Sullenberger kunye neqela lakhe ngebaqhube ngale ndlela bebesenza ngayo emva kweeyure ezisixhenxe, ezilithoba okanye ezili-12 ebaleni?" U-Hanni ubuze, ebhekisa kwi-US Airways crew ethe yahlala ngokungxamisekileyo kuMlambo i-Hudson waseNew York ngoJanuwari.
U-Hanni waqala umbutho wakhe emva kokuba evaleleke kwi-tarmac kwinqwelomoya ye-American Airlines e-Austin, eTexas, ngaphezu kweeyure ezilithoba ngoDisemba 2006. UMark Mogel, umlawuli wophando weqela, wathi i-FlyersRights.org inamalungu amalunga nama-24,000, uninzi lwawo. Ukunikela ngemali, iinkonzo kunye noncedo lokuphembelela.
Ikhadi lengxelo lisekelwe kwiinkcukacha-manani zikarhulumente, iingxelo zamaphepha-ndaba, iinkcukacha zeWeb site yenkampani yeenqwelo-moya, iingxelo ezingomnxeba wonxibelelwano weqela, kunye neengxelo zamangqina okuzibonela ukusuka ngoJanuwari ukuya kuDisemba ka-2008.
Ivavanye iinkampani zeenqwelomoya ezili-17 ngeentlobo ezahlukeneyo zokulibaziseka kwetha, imenyu yazo kunye neekhontrakthi zekhareji kunye nezibophelelo zenkonzo yabathengi kwaye yakhupha amabakala ezi zinto zahlukeneyo kunye nebakala lilonke.
Ngokuphathelele kwimenyu, uMogel uchaze ukuba udidi lwemenyu lusekwe kubungakanani, hayi umgangatho. Uvavanyo belujonge ukubona ukuba kuya kubakho ukutya ebhodini ngexesha lokulibaziseka kwetha.
I-Delta Air Lines, i-JetBlue, i-Continental Airlines, kunye ne-US Airways zifumene ibakala lilonke lika-"F" kwaye i-American Airlines ifumene ibakala lilonke lika-"D."
I-United Airlines, i-Airtran kunye ne-American Eagle yafumana "C." IAlaska Airlines, Northwest Airlines kunye neFrontier Airlines ifumene "B," kwaye uMzantsi-ntshona ufumene "A."
Ezinye iinqwelomoya ezintlanu - iAtlantic Southeast, Comair, ExpressJet, Mesa kunye nePinnacle - ayilifumananga ibakala lilonke kuba ezinye iindidi azikwazanga kugqitywa.
“Inyaniso yokuba ezinye iinkampani zeenqwelomoya zifumene oo-A no-B kwaye ezinye ii-D nee-F kweli khadi lengxelo ikwabonisa ukuba ukubonelela ngenkonzo enesidima kubathengi kunye nokuthintela ukutsalwa nzima kuyenzeka kwaye akufuneki kubeke umthwalo ongafanelekanga kwishishini leenqwelomoya okanye kukhokelele kwitikiti eliphezulu. amaxabiso,” sitshilo isishwankathelo sengxelo.
