Iindaba ze-BTC zenza uphando kwaye ziqalise isibheno malunga noMthetho we-Transparent Airfares Act ka-2014. Oku kuluhlu olufutshane kwiNdlu yase-US ukuba ifakwe kwiKhalenda yokuSuspension ngaphambi kokuphumla kuka-Agasti. Lo mthetho uyilwayo wenkampani yeenqwelomoya usayilwayo uya kuguqula umthetho we-DOT wase-US owaphunyezwa ngo-2012 njengonyango kwintengiso yeenqwelomoya ezilahlekisayo.
Ileta evulekileyo ejikelezwe ziindaba zeBTC ifundeka ngolu hlobo:
Ohloniphekileyo uJohn Boehner
Somlomo weNdlu

Sithethi esithandekayo uBoehner,
Thina basayiniweyo apha ngezantsi sifunde ukuba iHR 4156 ephikisana kakhulu, uMthetho weTransparent Airfares Act ka-2014, ikuluhlu olufutshane lweNdlu ukuze lufakwe kwiKhalenda yokuNxiliswa ngaphambi kwekhefu lika-Agasti. I-HR 4156 ngumthetho ongavisisaniyo onokulimaza izigidi zabathengi ngokujikisa umthetho weSebe lezoThutho lase-US (DOT) owaphunyezwa ngo-2012 njengonyango kwiintengiso ezilahlekisayo zeenqwelomoya. Siyakubongoza ukuba ungafaki i-HR 4156 kwiKhalenda yokuNxinywa.
Ishishini lokuhamba kunye namaqela abathengi awazange aziswe ngethemba lalo mthetho kwaye akazange anikwe naliphi na ithuba lokufaka igalelo. I-HR 4156 yakhawuleziswa ngevoti yelizwi kwiKomiti yezoThutho yeNdlu ngoAprili 9, 2014 emva kwemizuzu nje eli-9 yengxoxo. Kwakungekho zingeniso okanye iingxoxo esidlangalaleni. Ukukhawuleza okukhaphayo lo mthetho oyilwayo, ngaphandle kweengxoxo apho abanye abachaphazelekayo bebeya kuba nethuba lokwazisa iCongress ngezimvo zabo kunye neziphene kulo mthetho oyilwayo, kuyazisola.
Ngoku emva kokuhambisa umthetho oyilwayo ngeKomiti, iinkampani zeenqwelo moya zifuna ukubhukuqa inkqubo yeKhalenda yokuNxinywa. Akukho qela elinye labathengi okanye umbutho wokuhamba ngeshishini oxhasa lo mthetho; uninzi luye lwayigxeka esidlangalaleni inkqubo kunye nomthetho oyilwayo. Eli ayilogama elingqinelanayo lesakhiwo sobumbano - uhlobo lwetyala iKhalenda yokuNxingwa eqhele ukusetyenziselwa yona - kodwa endaweni yoko, i-HR 4156 ngokungathandabuzekiyo imele awona matyala eenqwelomoya aphikisanayo kwisizukulwana.
Ewe, Ibhodi yoHlelo yeNew York Times nge-22 ka-Epreli yawugxeka umthetho oyilwayo kwinqaku lomhleli: "Olu tyhalo lokulahlekisa abathengi lubuhlungu ngakumbi kuba udibaniso lwamva nje, olufana nolo lweAmerican Airlines kunye ne-US Airways, lwenze ukuba ishishini lingakhuphisani." Ngokunjalo, iWashington Post yanika ingxelo nge-24 ka-Epreli: Abathengi baye basabela kulo mthetho uyilwayo ngendlela efanayo nabameli babo: Bafile ngokuchasene nawo.
Lo mthetho uchasene ngokuphandle nabathengi kwaye awusebenzi njongo, ngokombono wethu, ngaphandle kokulahlekisa abathengi malunga nexabiso lokwenyani lenqwelomoya. Siyakubongoza ukuba ungalifaki eli tyala kwiKhalenda yokuNxinzeliswa kodwa unyanzelise ishishini lokuhamba kunye namaqela abathengi igalelo kunye nokuxoxwa okufanelekileyo kwalo mthetho uphikiswana kakhulu.
