What is it with these people?

 

Why does the airplane industry hate its customers?

I have asked this question before, remembering the 2006 Jet Blue incident where a plane was held on the tarmac for hours in 100 degree cabin hear and the 2011 incident where security dragged a doctor off a plane in Chicago, lied about it, and got caught.

Now in Las Vegas least week, passengers were held on an airplane for five hours with cabin temps of 111 (!) degrees..  What happened to the Passenger Bill of Rights?  Or common sense?

If I was the pilot, I would have had the ranking stewardess who was not passed out lead the passengers in a school line across the tarmac back into the terminal. 

Pete Butticheg--however you spell his name--has said an investigation is underway.  Well, that is a first.  Delta Airlines has said the passengers were compensated, but it also became known that the next available flight for these passengers was to Atlanta the next day and then that was cancelled.

Time to stop this.

Do it by refusing to fly.  Do it for a week and watch what happens.

Does the American public have the courage to do this?

Not encouraged, but odder things have happened.
