Airplane passengers sitting on the runway

Everywhere I turn, I keep seeing stories about airline passengers stuck on the runway for several hours. Didn’t these airlines learn their lessons from JetBlue’s Valentine’s Day Masacre?

What’s extremely interesting to me is two stories this week from Delta flights, where passengers took videos of their ordeal. The first story is a Delta commuter flight stuck on the tarmac for hours with no air conditioning. See the video here.

The second one (picked up from the consumerist) is well edited and chronicles what is becoming commonplace in the airline industry. Let’s see if these videos prompt change.
