Airlines must improve passenger service and onboard comfort
The El Paso Times argues airlines must improve customer care after long delays with hundreds of passengers stranded on planes. It cites December storms diverting over 100 flights to Dallas Fort Worth and 5,000 passengers effectively imprisoned up to eight hours, plus recent JetBlue delays of up to 11 hours at JFK. The piece urges limits on in-flight discomfort, gate returns after an hour, and congressional action against overbooking to protect paying passengers.
