@deviantollam We definitely need the bill of rights.

Just watched the news and they raised a relevant point: the gates at airports were full and they don’t have enough buses to be able to park the remaining planes out of the way and truck passengers back to the terminal.

So a bill of rights would also need to factor in these worst case scenarios and have the entire system scale up to support it.

Crew hours are going to time out before many of the delayed passenger flights can realistically complete their journeys.

There is a lot of "politicise it first" level BS being spewed in the WH right now. They once briefly mentioned passenger rights.

There is also talk about FAA switches ("old, legacy, from the 1980s") overloading.

Holy shit, it's using TDM leased lines:

Can't blame this on one past admin.

@deviantollam
Domestic flights airlines are supposed to allow departure from the aircraft within three hours on the tarmac. International the limit is four. Punishment is a fine. There are some exceptions (air traffic control, security, etc)

You can actually file a complaint with the DoT!
