Some travelers believe carriers intentionally ground half-filled flights to cut cost, only to fill up later planes. Mysterious cancellations just rub people the wrong way. One passenger complained that an American Airlines gate agent told him he didn’t have the foggiest idea why a flight had been cancelled. Wary of lost bags and long waits at check-in and luggage carousels, many passengers try to lug as much carry-on baggage as they can, slowing boarding and increasing the stress on other passengers. Stephanie Mehas, a passenger, said, " Always pack two properly sized carryons," she says, " but many people come banging down the aisle with multiple bags, expecting to jam them all in the overhead bin. " This can be dangerous. Falling carry-on bags annually injure thousands of passengers.
As to the present situation, veteran airline observer Robert Poole contends that legislation and industry promises "are stopgaps". Greater regulation will do nothing to spur innovation, and, he notes, between 1998 and 2010, air travel in America will have expended 40 percent to one billion annual passengers, overwhelming our ready strained infrastructure. Unless the system is expended, he predicts customer service will continue its over-all downward trend. The ultimate solution, says Poole, is to complete the "unfinished revolution" that began in 1978 with government deregulation of airline routes and fares. Poole believes that the antiquated, overly bureaucratic air-traffic-control system could be privatized, following the successful model of Nav Canada, which uses high-tech equipment and modern administrative procedure. Another innovation that has shown great promise abroad is smaller, privately owned airports offering point-to-point service using new fuel-efficient jets. More of these airports will relieve the pressure on the big airports, but put pressure on the carriers to improve. [br] In Poole’s view, which of the following will do for a change?
选项
A、Legislation.
B、Industry commitment.
C、Regulation.
D、Expansion of the present system.
答案
D
解析
细节推断题。根据题干关键词Poole定位到原文尾段。尾段第三句用了条件句来说明the systemis expended的重要性。Robert Poole认为只有在飞行系统上投入资金,才是可行之道。故答案为D。
