FlyersRights pushes back against digital Covid passports as a requirement to fly.

Last week the White House followed our lead in requiring masks in cabins. What NEW power does this give to Flight Attendants? Also last week, Canada lifted the grounding order on the Boeing 737MAX. FlyersRights.org president Paul Hudson says Canada and India now follow the European Union Aviation Safety Agency (EASA) -not the secretive FAA. FlyersRights'.org 2nd petition to re-ground the 737MAX was denied in US Appeal Court. What SECRET info did Boeing give to FAA? FlyersRights' position = The 737MAX is NOT fixed.

Callers to FlyersRights' Hotline are incensed that, despite government bailout money, they're getting refunded for their cancelled tickets. Nobody wants a voucher! Some airline call-reps are wrongly telling passengers they'll get a refund only after their vouchers expire - Wrong! you're entitled to a refund immediately! Why are airlines flat-out lying? Because they'll do anything and everything to deny your refund! (Apologies for the audio static - it was recorded during Coronavirus quarantine, in less-than-ideal studio conditions)

DOT finally cracks down on airlines scamming passengers out of refunds - We also ask why flight attendants are cramming people together in empty cabins-
