Passengers stranded on American flights push for Passengers Bill of Rights

Amendment III - Passengers shall never be forced to substitute an in-flight meal for a Bistro Bag.

DFW INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT — Passengers on diverted American Airlines' flights from San Francisco to Dallas in December have gotten together to lobby Congress to pass of a Passengers Bill of Rights.

The planes were diverted to Austin and passengers sat on board for more than eight hours.

Groups have been trying to get Congress to pass a Passengers Bill of Rights for years.

Really, a bill of rights isn't necessary if the airlines would just exercise a little common sense and courtesy. Unfortunately, I've been abused by our local incubus of the air (aka American Airlines) enough to be certain that only regulation and fines will ever change its corporate behavior.

haha, ya last time on southwest my friend asked to have his car pulled to the front of the plane and they laughed and walked away, he had to wait for his car to be pulled up, talk about service. The pilot of his first leg, told him to ask the pilot to call for his car to be pulled up to the jet, guess southwest does not care about service like flexjet does. Talk about common sense.
