Passengers Stuck on Tarmac Nearly Nine Hours, Says FlyersRights.org
Mass Stranding in Denver
NAPA, Calif., March 25 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- Tuesday night, United Flight #270 fully loaded a jet in Denver, pushed back from the gate and sat for over 8 hours on the tarmac. Harry Lovecraft was one of the victims of this most recent event. He is available for interviews at 1-407-538-6704 cellular. For a copy of this victim's voicemail and other voicemails of victims of Tuesday night's tarmac event in Denver, email [email protected].
Harry states there was no food, little water, the air conditioning was off so the plane was extremely hot and stuffy even though the snow was falling. At 4 a.m. they were dumped into an overcrowded terminal with 1000 passengers and no staff to help them. No assistance was offered the passengers.
If the new DOT rule were in place now, this might have been averted. The Senate just passed the bill as written by Senators Barbara Boxer and Olympia Snowe but it's still not conferenced and on the president's desk for signature! Isn't it time that the House and Senate resolve their differences in the FAA Bill which contains permanent protections for airline passengers' health, well being and safety; and turn this bill into a law that passengers can count on to protect them from this random abuse?
