Full title:"Airline execs get called to D.C. to talk about their bad customer service"

Yup, political kabuki BS.
Yeah, the Congress and Airline “executives,” two turds from the same puch bowl.
I think we should have a national referendum on just what Congress is “allowed” to investigate. And when they do, they should be mandated to provide an executive summary of what they actually accomplished for their constituents. When I look as some of the recent examples of “Congressional Investigations” I want to puke.

Absolutely.
Now, we just need “stars” from Hollywood and “rappers” to “testify” about a few more things.
What a pathetic joke.
“In the meantime they will reduce leg room and miniaturize bath rooms just to please travelers even more.”
Just what I was thinking. The one-in-a-million SCREWBALL gets all the attention of Congress, while the REAL TORTURE that every coach traveler faces is simply IGNORED.
Yeah, if it would actually accomplishing anything other execs/celebs/whatever and politicos enjoying a back-patting circle, it would be worth the time.
