Joining Munoz at the hearing will be United President Scott Kirby as well as executives from American Airlines, Southwest Airlines, Alaska Airlines and a consumers' union consultant. United also changed its policies by offering passengers who give up their seats up to $10,000 and by reducing overbooked flights. RELAXING AIRLINE REGULATIONSWhite House spokesman Sean Spicer said the president would not, at this point, weigh in on whether new airline regulations are needed. He asked airline executives in February to identify regulatory hurdles. Larsen said new airline regulations were not yet under discussion but that if carriers did not make a firm commitment to improve customer service, then "the options for legislation open."
