As our government studies the uneven safety standards and differences in pilot training programs between mainline and regional airlines, both American and United airlines announced new code-shared flights that confuse and mislead the flying public. The FAA must say enough! There needs to be a freeze on additional regional airline contracts until the FAA can bring a unified safety structure into place.

Codesharing is flat-out dishonest. Why shouldn’t consumers be able to clearly see on which airline’s aircraft they will actually be flying? Why should one airline be allowed to claim a route that its planes, pilots and flight attendants never fly? Why should the government be complicit in this misinformation?
