Having lived in a country that does not have the consumer protection, I can attest to the fact that the EU charter works. The airlines have protection that cover unforeseen events. Events due to bad planning or cost cutting are not one of them
As a frequent flyer it is important to me to be assured I will be looked after in the event of serious delay or cancellation of my flights. As a family we have been affected by this in the past and had to fight hard to receive our compensation. It is essential that airlines are compelled to compensate disrupted passengers.
As a European air passenger, I depend on EC 261 to protect me from being stranded, ignored, or financially burdened when airlines fail to deliver. Weakening these rights doesn’t just inconvenience travelers—it encourages corporate neglect and leaves millions of consumers vulnerable. I’m signing this petition because I believe EU laws should defend people, not profit margins. Keep the 3-hour rule. Keep compensation fair. Keep passengers protected.
Reducing passenger rights would skew even more the relationship between airlines and passengers in favor of the airlines. As of now, passengers' rights are the only thing that protects passengers from a relationship that is already so deeply one-sided in favor of the airlines. Eliminating passengers' rights would cause passengers to be completely disregarded by the airlines.
I'm an A-List Preferred member who travels around forty weeks a year almost exclusively with SWA. If these corporate raiders are allowed to cut services and start nickel and diming us, I'll be forced to shop other airlines. I fly SWA because of their customer service, two free checked bags, and open seating.
Basically every *worst* change you could think of is what is being accomplished by Southwest now, and it's very saddening. The signature yellow bag snack mix snacks are no more, higher prices with long lay overs, lack of non-stops, getting rid of free bags, lay offs, and no more open seating. What exactly is the company accomplishing with this? Loosing many valuable customers and heart of decades of what makes Southwest special, stand out, and reason to choose.
Southwest… I’ve flown with you for decades. Recommended you to everybody. With these recent bag-checking changes, there is no way I’d ever fly with you again - way too close to being like Spirit. Add the seating changes, what even sets you apart from any other airline? Many of us chose you if not for the free seating, the free checked bags… I already know if I have to pay extra for these things, I’m choosing Delta over you in a heartbeat.
I firmly believe you were once THE best budget airline, and I will l miss the straightforward pricing. I can’t believe what’s happening to this company. It’s truly sad. Greed finally got a hold of you, and management has destroyed your legacy.
PLEASE reconsider these awful changes.
