Passengers shouldn’t be left stranded on an airplane for hours. This is an airline policy that should be condemned. It doesn’t take all that much to return to the terminal and get the passengers deplaned. Sheesh! I’ve been stuck on an airplane for several hours in Denver. Made me angry!
This happened to me as a nursing mother with three little kids for four hours on the tarmac, no water passed out, at the Phoenix Airport. Unbelievable more people weren’t irate. I was trying to encourage the guy next to me to storm the cockpit so that at least we’d be let out while he was arrested.
Some guy actually smoked in the bathroom.
I have to ask. Is this a federal policy? Is this an airline policy based on a federal policy? Or is this simply an airline policy based on nothing else?
