I-New York State Airline Passenger Bill of Rights ifuna ukusindisa iindiza kuhambo olubi lokuhamba: ukubaleka kwinqwelomoya exineneyo iiyure ezininzi- ukuphefumla umoya omileyo, kungekho kutya, kungekho manzi kunye nezindlu zokuhlambela ezingacocekanga.
Kodwa izolo i-Air Transport Association yaseMelika, iqela lezorhwebo elimele inani labathwali, lifake umceli mngeni walo wesibini kummiselo, lisithi ishishini lenqwelomoya elilawulwa ngumanyano akufuneki libe phantsi komthetho welizwe ofuna izibonelelo ezincinci kubakhweli. phezulu kwinqwelomoya ephantsi. Izibheno zomdibaniso zabagwebi abathathu zabonakala zivumelana neqela lezorhwebo.
“Ndiyothuswa ngokuphindaphindiweyo kukuzimisela kweshishini leenqwelomoya,” utshilo uMichael Gianaris, umbhali walo mthetho. "Baqeshe amagqwetha amaxabiso aphezulu aphuma eWashington ukuba eze aze athethe ukuba abakhweli ababambeke kwinqwelomoya kangangeeyure ngexesha kufuneka bangavunyelwa ukuba basebenzise igumbi lokuhlambela okanye basele amanzi. Kulapho ishishini lichitha ixesha kunye nezixhobo zalo. ”
UGianaris angathanda ukuba iinqwelomoya zichithe imali ethile kumalungiselelo kaxakeka kubakhweli abavaleleke kwitha. Umthetho wakhe, owasayinwa njengomthetho kulo nyaka uphelileyo, wafuna indawo yokuhlala engenanto-amathambo njengokutya, amanzi, umoya omtsha, izindlu zangasese ezicocekileyo, kunye nombane kubantu abagcinwe kwiinqwelomoya ezingaphezulu kweeyure ezintathu. Umthetho weLizwe laseNew York ukwatyityimbisel’ umnwe abo bawutyeshelayo lo mthetho ngesohlwayo se-$1,000 kumkhweli ngamnye.
Ishishini leenqwelomoya alizange liphumelele umngeni kulo mthetho kweyoMnga. Iijaji ezintathu ebezimamele eli tyala izolo, nangona kunjalo, zibonakala ziwuthandabuza ummiselo wombuso, ngokwe-Associated Press.
Abagwebi bathi babenovelwano kwiimfuno zabagibeli kwiinqwelomoya, kodwa babonakala bevuma ukuba ngurhulumente kuphela onokukwazi ukulawula iinkonzo zeenqwelomoya. UJaji uBrian M. Cogan uthe umthetho waseNew York unokukhokelela kwizisombululo ezininzi ngamaphondo kwilizwe lonke ezinokuthi zibeke iinqwelomoya kuzo zonke iintlobo zeemfuno.
Umgwebi uDebra Ann Livingston wavuma.
“Kukho ingxaki ye-patchwork yokuba wonke urhulumente kufuneka akhathazeke ngale nto kwaye mhlawumbi angabhala imimiselo eyahlukileyo,” utshilo.
Nangona iijaji zazingekawisi isigqibo, iJaji uRichard C. Wesley wakuthethelela oko kubonakala ngathi azimiseli.
“Lo ngumba wangaphambili. Abagwebi abangobantu abangenantliziyo abanxibe iingubo ezimnyama. Iijaji ezintathu kufuneka zithathe isigqibo sokuba ngaba iNew York iwugqithile na umgca wangaphambili,” utshilo uWesley.
Ukuza kuthi ga ngoku, iNew York lilizwe lokuqala ukudlulisa umthetho oyilwayo wamalungelo abakhweli, nangona ilizwe liphela linamatyala afanayo kwimisebenzi. Ushicilelo olusemthethweni lwebhili yokunceda abakhweli abavaleleke kwitha limile. U-Gianaris ukholelwa ukuba umba weshishini kunye nomthetho wakhe awunanto yokwenza nokuba urhulumente unelungelo lokuwunyanzelisa, kwaye ngaphezulu kunento yokwenza nefuthe lemali yokuba nokutya okuthe kratya kunye neziselo ebhodini ukuba inqwelomoya ihlala ihleli iiyure.
“Ngumcimbi olula weendleko kubo,” utshilo uGianaris. Abafuni kuqonda ukuba makwenziwe njani. Inqaku lam kukuba lo ayisingombandela wengqiqo kwaye unokugcina imali yokhwela iphantsi ngokungavumeli abantu ukuba basebenzise igumbi lokuhlambela. Ezi zizinto eziyimfuneko kwaye akufuneki kuxoxwe ngazo.”
Emva kwamatyala enkundla izolo, uKate Hanni, umongameli woManyano lweBhili yamaLungelo aBakhweli kwiNqwelo-moya, uthe isigqibo sabagwebi, ekulindeleke kwiiveki ezizayo, sinokuba nefuthe elibi kumatyala kwilizwe liphela. “Ukuba iNew York iyabhukuqa kunokuba yonke into esiyisebenzeleyo ibhukuqwe,” utshilo.
UHanni uthe akayiqondi indlela iinqwelomoya ezinokubonisa ngayo ukungakhathaleli impatho yabantu abakhweli. Waqala iqela labakhweli benqwelomoya elandela amava akhe amabi okubanjwa kwinqwelo moya yeAmerican Airlines ngaphezulu kweeyure ezili-13 eTexas ngo-2006. Ngelixa babesalindile abakhweli basela amanzi kwindlu yokuhlambela de yome kwaye babambe impumlo zabo emva kwezindlu zangasese. kwaphuphuma. Abo babenethamsanqa batya amashwamshwam ababewagcine epokothweni.
“Amabanjwa emfazwe anamalungelo amaninzi ngeNgqungquthela yaseGeneva kunokuba abakhweli benqwelomoya bavale umnyango,” utshilo. “Bafumana ukutya, bafumane namanzi, bafumane iingubo, bafumana amayeza, baqinisekise ukuba bafumana indawo yokulala thina asifumani.”
