Overview and Trends
9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 15 1 M Overview and Trends The Transportation Research Board (TRB) study committee that pro- duced Winds of Change held its final meeting in the spring of 1991. The committee had reviewed the general experience of the U.S. airline in- dustry during the more than a dozen years since legislation ended gov- ernment economic regulation of entry, pricing, and ticket distribution in the domestic market.1 The committee examined issues ranging from passenger fares and service in small communities to aviation safety and the federal government’s performance in accommodating the escalating demands on air traffic control. At the time, it was still being debated whether airline deregulation was favorable to consumers. Once viewed as contrary to the public interest,2 the vigorous airline competition 1 The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 was preceded by market-oriented administra- tive reforms adopted by the Civil Aeronautics Board (CAB) beginning in 1975. 2 Congress adopted the public utility form of regulation for the airline industry when it created CAB, partly out of concern that the small scale of the industry and number of willing entrants would lead to excessive competition and capacity, ultimately having neg- ative effects on service and perhaps leading to monopolies and having adverse effects on consumers in the end (Levine 1965; Meyer et al. 1959). 15 9310-01 Chapter 1 10/12/99 14:48 Page 16 16 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY spurred by deregulation now is commonly credited with generating large and lasting public benefits. -

Date Raised: May 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Northwest Airlines Description: AccessAir, a new airline headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa, began service in the New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles to Mo- line/Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois, markets. Northwest offers connecting service in these markets. AccessAir alleged that Northwest was offering fares in these markets that were substantially below Northwest’s costs. 171 9310-08 App C 10/12/99 13:40 Page 172 172 ENTRY AND COMPETITION IN THE U.S. AIRLINE INDUSTRY 2. Date Raised: March 1999 Complaining Party: AccessAir Complained Against: Delta, Northwest, and TWA Description: AccessAir was a new entrant air carrier, headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. In February 1999, AccessAir began service to New York–LaGuardia and Los Angeles from Des Moines, Iowa, and Moline/ Quad Cities/Peoria, Illinois. AccessAir offered direct service (nonstop or single-plane) between these points, while competitors generally offered connecting service. In the Des Moines/Moline–Los Angeles market, Ac- cessAir offered an introductory roundtrip fare of $198 during the first month of operation and then planned to raise the fare to $298 after March 5, 1999. AccessAir pointed out that its lowest fare of $298 was substantially below the major airlines’ normal 14- to 21-day advance pur- chase fares of $380 to $480 per roundtrip and was less than half of the major airlines’ normal 7-day advance purchase fare of $680. -

Inadequate Regulation for Emergency Air Ambulance Transportation
HEALTH POLICY Up in the Air: Inadequate Regulation REPORT MARCH 2017 for Emergency Air Ambulance Transportation EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: Market shifts in emergency air ambulance services have surfaced serious consumer concerns and regulatory gaps. Troubling changes in the industry have led to an increase in the number of consumers receiving unexpected and exorbitant medical bills for air ambulance services. Further, an oversupply in the air ambulance market has contributed to unnecessary overuse of this life-saving service. Although states want to create consumer protections in this area, federal preemption has largely prevented the regulation by state governments. Consumers need to beware of using these services, which sometimes are not medically necessary and often not in insurance networks. However, when buying health insurance, savvy consumers can try to find coverage that has local air ambulance providers in the plan network. Consumers living in rural areas may be solicited to buy "membership programs" offered by some air ambulance operators, but should consider these offers with caution. While the cost may be low, they will only cover expenses beyond insurance if the air transport membership company is the one that handles the emergency. In order to address these issues, Congress should amend the Airline Deregulation Act to allow for greater state regulation; meanwhile, states should gather information about their emergency air ambulance landscapes, warn consumers about potential financial risks related to air ambulance transportation, and craft legislation to address consumer concerns where they can. When patients need to be airlifted to medical care in an emergency, the first priority is getting them to the right healthcare provider as quickly as possible. -
Watson V. Air Methods Corp., 834 F.3D 891 (8Th Cir
United States Court of Appeals For the Eighth Circuit ___________________________ No. 15-1900 ___________________________ John A. Watson, V, lllllllllllllllllllll Plaintiff - Appellant, v. Air Methods Corporation, lllllllllllllllllllll Defendant - Appellee. ____________ Appeal from United States District Court for the Eastern District of Missouri - St. Louis ____________ Submitted: January 10, 2017 Filed: August 31, 2017 ____________ Before RILEY, Chief Judge,1 WOLLMAN, LOKEN, MELLOY, SMITH, COLLOTON, GRUENDER, BENTON, SHEPHERD, and KELLY, Circuit Judges, En Banc. ____________ 1The Honorable William Jay Riley stepped down as Chief Judge of the United States Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit at the close of business on March 10, 2017. He has been succeeded by the Honorable Lavenski R. Smith. Appellate Case: 15-1900 Page: 1 Date Filed: 08/31/2017 Entry ID: 4574514 COLLOTON, Circuit Judge. John Watson sued his former employer, Air Methods Corporation, in Missouri state court, alleging a common-law claim for wrongful discharge in violation of public policy. Watson alleged that he was a “whistleblower” who disclosed safety violations at the company, and that Air Methods retaliated against him by terminating his employment. Air Methods removed the case to federal court and then moved to dismiss based on the pre-emption provision of the Airline Deregulation Act (“ADA”), 49 U.S.C. § 41713(b)(1). The district court, relying on our decision in Botz v. Omni Air International, 286 F.3d 488 (8th Cir. 2002), dismissed the complaint, and Watson appeals. We now hold that the ADA does not expressly pre-empt Watson’s state-law wrongful-discharge claims involving post hoc reporting of alleged violations of air- safety regulations. -
