USekela Mongameli weSigqeba soLawulo lwe-US kwiMicimbi yoLuntu uJonathan Grella ukhuphe le ngxelo ilandelayo:
“Iintsuku, amaza omoya ebegcwaliswe ngamabali amabi malunga neenqwelo moya. Eyona nto ixhaphakileyo apha kukuba ukuhamba ngomoya kuye kwaba yinto engathandekiyo kubaninzi babahambi. Ngelixa iinqwelomoya zonke irekhodi lenzuzo eveliswe ngasemva kwabo bakhweleyo, uninzi luye lwasala lubambekile ngaphandle kwezimbalwa ngaphandle kokukhetha. Iminyaka yokudityaniswa okungaphezulu, okudityaniswe ngumgaqo-nkqubo wokuxhasa iinqwelomoya kunokuba kubakhonze abahambi, kukhokelele kwinkqubo eyaphukileyo efuna ukulungiswa.
“Iinqwelo-moya ezithintela ukuphuculwa kwezixhobo kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya nokukhula kwazo okanye ukuxhasa ukurhoxiswa kwemigaqo-nkqubo yesizwe esivulekileyo esibhakabhakeni kufuneka zisebenzise lo mzuzu ukuqaphela indlela yokwenza inkqubo ibengcono, ingabi mandundu, ngokuzikhethela nangokunxibelelana kwabo bonke.
"Lixesha lokuba iWashington 'ihlalise kwakhona' umzekeliso wempungutye evela kwizikhukukazi kwaye ibeke abakhweli namava abo kwindawo yokuqala."
INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- Years of over-consolidation, compounded by policymaking favoring the airlines rather than the travelers they serve, has led to a broken system that needs to be fixed.
- “Iinqwelo-moya ezithintela ukuphuculwa kwezixhobo kwisikhululo seenqwelo-moya nokukhula kwazo okanye ukuxhasa ukurhoxiswa kwemigaqo-nkqubo yesizwe esivulekileyo esibhakabhakeni kufuneka zisebenzise lo mzuzu ukuqaphela indlela yokwenza inkqubo ibengcono, ingabi mandundu, ngokuzikhethela nangokunxibelelana kwabo bonke.
- While airlines tout record profits generated on the backs of their passengers, many are left stranded with few to no options.
