Summary: <br> <a href="http://aa.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">American Airlines</a> made some changes to IROPs and accommodations policies <a href="https://twitter.com/JTGenter/status/1434358459848331264" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in recent days</a>. Or a long time ago an just never bothered to update the way those were communicated to passengers.<br> <br> <br> <br> And, yes, the <a href="https://crankyflier.com/2021/09/09/americans-contract-of-carriage-change-is-actually-a-good-thing/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">new CoC is much more in line with the reality</a> of how the airline acts towards travelers.<br> <br> <br> <br> But what if, instead of changing the contract to match the active policies, we fixed the policies to not suck?? Seems worth at least considering.<br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> <br> * <a rel="noopener" href="https://www.businesstravelnewseurope.com/Management/German-business-travel-spending-at-historic-low" target="_blank">German business travel spending hits all-time low</a>* Philippines Airlines is the latest to file for bankruptcy protection* Billy Bishop is Back in Business* Someone tried to buy EasyJet* An executive order and <a rel="noopener" href="https://beyer.house.gov/uploadedfiles/amtrak_bill_text.pdf" target="_blank">proposed legislation</a> around vaccinations in the US, plus possibly bigger fines for non-compliance with mask rules<br> <br> <br> <br> For our <a href="https://www.patreon.com/dotslinesdestinations">Patreon subscribers</a> we have bonus content, including:<br> <br> <br> <br> * CRAF ends, <a href="https://apnews.com/article/middle-east-afghanistan-qatar-kabul-taliban-171fa64b4ed5514b44834257b4d5d457" target="_blank" rel="noopener">commercial ops resume</a> at Kabul<br> <br> <br> <br> And plenty more.
