(JUST THE NEWS) – Like a slow-motion train wreck that wasn’t thwarted, the Christmas holiday travel disaster was forewarned to Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg a month ago by members of his own party who pleaded he take more aggressive action to force airlines to address wary consumer concerns about growing flight cancelations, delays and ticket refunds.
“Passengers are rightfully displeased with airline performance … Consumers deserve even stronger protections,” Sens. Maria Cantwell, D-Wash., Ed Markey, D-Mass., and Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., wrote Buttigieg on Nov. 23, urging him to strengthen and expedite new regulations targeting the airlines’ performance

A similar warning came from a bipartisan group of 38 state attorneys general, who wrote House Speaker Nancy Pelosi a few months ago, saying that Buttigieg’s department was turning a deaf ear to airline consumer complaints.
