Really, a bill of rights isn't necessary if the airlines would just exercise a little common sense and courtesy. Unfortunately, I've been abused by our local incubus of the air (aka American Airlines) enough to be certain that only regulation and fines will ever change its corporate behavior.

haha, ya last time on southwest my friend asked to have his car pulled to the front of the plane and they laughed and walked away, he had to wait for his car to be pulled up, talk about service. The pilot of his first leg, told him to ask the pilot to call for his car to be pulled up to the jet, guess southwest does not care about service like flexjet does. Talk about common sense.
