United Passengers Air Bitter Grievances
wrote in message oups.com... Maybe the current Congress can pass a law. We need the law that the airlines weaseled out of a few years ago. (1) Having flown enough to have witnessed what weather can do to a/c, I'd just as soon accept that "weather delay" represents a meaningful excuse, whether in my location or somewhere else where it causes flights to be held up.... (2) Having just spent 7 hours completing what is normally a 4.5 hour drive because of delays caused by successive belts of thunderstorms during which the rain rate exceeded a couple of inches an hour, at times reducing visibility to about 100', I'm comfortable with reality, that "delay" is a meaningful term extending to all forms of transportation. Flights are grounded and airports closed during the conditions I experienced. (3) "Passing a Law" is likely to cause the same sort of problems that the passage of all too many laws bring about, more confusion, increased prices, and more delays... (4) In any case, a "law" passed by the US Congress will have pretty limited applicability in Cancun, Mexico, even aboard a US carrier. TMO |
