The bill directs the Secretary of Transportation to require covered air carriers to develop and regularly update an operational resiliency strategy within one year to prevent or limit passenger disruptions. Required plan elements include assessments of severe weather and other disruptions, staffing models, IT and crew-scheduling resilience, and cybersecurity vulnerabilities; the Secretary must protect proprietary information.
Liberals want stronger public transparency and labor input; conservatives prioritize limited federal reach.
Relative to its intended legislative type, this bill is a reasonably well-scoped administrative/operational measure that mandates operational resiliency strategies from covered air carriers and establishes external review via a GAO audit.
