Engagement Activity

As we have seen in this module, there are numerous problems that can pop up and put an airline into an “irregular operation.”  Most are not controllable by the airline, but the airline still has to responsibly react to the issue and try its best to resume normal operations.  One fairly recent issue that has been a source of problems for airlines and their passengers was the addition of 14 CFR Part 117 back in 2012.  Look up the history and implications of this FAR.

To complete this activity, look critically at the FAR and then add a 200-300 word discussion post describing whether or not you think it’s a reasonable regulation.
