Do you remember last summer , when angry travelers were urging the government to do something about airline customer service ? Airlines 36 to improve , and they adopted (采用)new standards just before Christmas . 37 as another summer nears , plenty of 38
travelers don’t see much improvement in customer 39 overall .
This month , the Department of Transportation’s (DOT) office will publish its first critical 40
on whether airlines are 41 their promises . One survey(調(diào)查)suggests problems : the number of 42 to the DOT about the top 10 airlines in the first 43 rose 89% from a year ago .
Hit last summer by passenger complaints and the threat (威懾)of consumer-protection laws by the 44 , 14 airlines 45 to adopt a set of basic customer-service standards called Customers First . The “12 promises” to passengers were introduced 46 a mjor effort to improve service . Since then , airlines have been redesigning websites , retraining employees and upgrading technology .
Recently , DOT inspector general Kenneth Mead , at McCain’s request , sent 20 examiners to airports to 47 whether each airline is doing what it promised . Mead warns travelers shouldn’t 48 too much . Most of the promises are 49 better communication with customers , not problems with flights .
“Passengers should show more understanding to airlines about their 50 to better air service .” Spokeswoman Shelly Sasson says . “And when 51 are made , it takes a long time for them to be noticed,” she says .
Now , the efforts may be working . During the first quarter , Delta had the second-lowest rate of complaints among the 52 10 carriers . 53 , its rate , along with other carriers’ , is up from last year . McCain and other lawmakers say there may be a 54 to pass new consumer-protection 55 .
