Travel Agency "Anyone who thought we could count on the Courts to ensure that the oil industry keeps its promises, and acts responsibly, has had a wake up call today," said Sierra Club Executive Director Carl Pope. "Once again, when we match the promises of 'clean, safe, environmentally responsible oil development' against reality, the promises lose. The oil industry always has, and apparently always will, cut corners, and take risks -- and the courts will only slap them on the wrist."

Last Minute Travel "A high punitive fine is necessary for one of the world's largest corporations that acted in an irresponsible fashion. Exxon harmed the environment and threatened the livelihood of Alaskans," continued Pope. "The award amount must set an example that not even Exxon can run amok and get away with it. Is $5 billion excessive for Exxon? No. A lower fine sends a message that you can get away with it."

Aloha Airlines The 1989 Exxon Valdez disaster in Alaska was the worst oil spill in U.S. history, spilling 11 million gallons of oil that harmed local fish and wildlife and damaged commercial fishing in the area. In the 1994 trial, a jury ordered Exxon to pay approximately $287 million in compensatory damages to commercial salmon and herring fishermen, plus $5 billion in punitive damages for behavior that led to the 1989 oil spill.

Travel Agent "Exxon claims the award wiped out a year's worth of profits for their oil company," explained Pope. "Well it wiped out much more than a year's worth of livelihoods for many Alaskans and for wildlife. This disaster became an icon for corporate irresponsibility. It won't send a strong message for our future if they are only given a slap in the wrist."

Since the Baby B'Air Flight Vest is a new product, some airline personnel are unaware that the FAA regulations allow the Baby B'Air for use in flight. If any parent has a problem using the Baby B'Air in flight, they may return the vest directly to Baby B'Air for a $50 refund check by providing the airline and flight information. This enables us to follow up with the airline. The airline can then inform the crew on the rules regarding use of the vest.
