The by-now notorious Continental Express flight from Houston that wound up trapping 47 souls overnight on a regional jet last weekend at Rochester, Minn., has opened the way for multiple approaches by the media to various aspects of the problem. As anticipated in this space last Monday, members of Congress got hot and bothered by the incident and some renewed calls for a bill-of-rights for the stranded. Others are asking hard questions about Continental Express, given this and other problems, including the crash near Buffalo in February.
A good backgrounder on passenger-rights legislation came from the AP in Washington. A wider look at Continental Express, and the commuter-feeder-regional -- whatever you want to call it -- part of the airline industry appeared in the airline's hometown paper, the Houston Chronicle.
