High court declines to take up fight over airline crew rest

KIFI

WASHINGTON (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court is letting states set their own standards for meal and rest breaks by airline crews.

An appeals court in San Francisco upheld the California law last year, saying that federal regulation of airlines is limited to prices, routes and services.
