The New York State Legislature passed a law on a Passenger bill of Rights. This was in response to the JetBlue service failures and large number of stranded passengers last winter at New Yorks La Guardia and JFK airports, both JetBlue bases of operation. The bill contains compensation provisions up to 1000 dollars per passenger. While JetBlue management themselves proclaimed a Passenger bill of rights shortly after the massive network failures, this is among the first legislation to hold airlines accountable for such failures. There is a question on the legality of the bill.
