This Time You Guys Really Screwed Up.
I’m really too busy to post very often lately but I just can’t let this pass without comment.
The implementation of Federally Mandated passenger service law will be a total DISASTER. You will find that the airlines will no longer have you on the ground during FAA delays for more than about an hour. Then they will go back to the gate, dump your happy ass off and cancel the flight.
Leaving government out of aviation is not possible or desired. Leaving the government out of customer service might have been a good idea if you consider the following:
1. The airlines are losing massive amounts of money on almost every flight
2. When they toss you and your stuff out and cancel the flight they will have no fuel cost
3. They already have your money, you don’t yet have the ride
Those of you who understand that sometimes it is not safe to fly, sometimes the FAA won’t let us fly, and sometimes airplanes break are now going to have to understand that the airlines cannot afford the risk of being fined for having you on the plane for too long.
This is a well intentioned but really stupid law. It will, however, give the airlines the latitude to cancel all of the flights that aren’t profitable.
Assuming you ever take off …………. Happy Landings
