Passenger Bill of Rights Arrives: The Early Show Report

CBS Early Show LogoIs the passenger bill of rights finally here?

New rules go in to effect today restricting how long a plane can sit on a runway.

The government will begin handling out big fines to airlines for tarmac waits of more than three hours.

The rules will give the flying public more options, but some airlines see this as a declaration of war and argue they’ll cancel flights at the first sign of delay.

Peter Greenberg was on The Early Show on CBS this morning reporting on this new passenger bill of rights and how it might lead to a game of chicken between the government and the airlines.
