INTERVIEW – MARC SCRIBNER – a senior fellow at the Competitive Enterprise Institute (CEI), focuses on transportation policy issues
- TOPIC: Analyze the airline industry and how it could be better:
- Want better service and lower prices? Let foreign carriers serve US routes
- The law restricting foreign carriers on US routes dates back to aviation’s infancy in the 20s and 30s
- There’s a federal cap on how much you can pay bumped passengers, that should be eliminated
- Airlines will probably revisit policies, but the answer is to increase competition
