The best choice is for airlines and parents to send in comment letters to the NTSB. This is a standard process for proposed rulemaking, where interested parties can provide feedback and opinions on the proposed rule. Writing to congressional representatives or seeking a presidential veto may not be effective at this stage, as the proposed regulation is still in the rulemaking process. Going to court to block the proposal would be a drastic option and typically occurs after a rule is finalized and implemented.
