regulatory authority over interstate air transportation pursuant to the Federal Aviation Act of 1958, 72 Stat. 731, as amended, 49 U.S.C. app. § 1301 et seq. However, the Act did not expressly preempt state regulation, and further, it contained a “savings clause” providing that “[njothing ... in this chapter shall in any way abridge or alter the remedies now existing at common law or by statute, but the provisions of this chapter are in addition to such remedies.” 49 U.S.C. app. § 1506 (recodified at 49 U.S.C. § 40120(c)); see American Airlines, Inc. v. Wolens, 513 U.S. 219, 222, 115 S.Ct. 817, 130 L.Ed.2d 715 (1995). As a result, states were not prevented from enforcing their own laws, despite the economic effect on the airlines. See California v. CAB, 581 F.2d 954, 956 (D.C.Cir.1978) (<HOLDING>); Nader v. Allegheny Airlines, Inc., 426 U.S.
