[HUFFPOO] WASHINGTON -- The government has launched a price-gouging investigation into five airlines that allegedly increased airfare after an Amtrak crash in Philadelphia halted rail service in May, Transportation Secretary Anthony Foxx said at a breakfast Friday. The Department of Transportation sent letters to five airlines -- Delta, JetBlue, Southwest, American and United -- requesting information on pricing for air travel through the Northeast Corridor, Foxx told reporters.
Foxx said the investigation will "begin the process of uncovering whether in fact airlines drove up prices in direct response" to the May 12 incident.
One of the reasons I travel F-150. A pox on the odious Delta sardine packers.
