United Airlines will implement a new policy that will encourage its passengers to be on time during their departure schedules. Likewise, the company's new policy is a strategy to make its planes depart as scheduled. In April and May 1999, United will make its policy known to passengers through newsletters, audio reminders, in-flight videos and signs. The reminders instruct passengers to be in their seats 10 minutes prior to their respective flight schedules.

Article Abstract:
Continental Airlines Inc CEO Gordon Bethune is requesting Congress to pass a bill that would prohibit violent passengers to board all carriers in the US. The move was a reaction to an accident that endangered the life of a Continental employee during a scuffle with a persistent passenger. Although passenger misconduct could result in prosecution and fines, Bethune would want to see a total ban of abusive passengers.
