Jet Blue holds passengers for hours

Posted on February 15th, 2007 by ecthompson md

We have all been held in the plane on the tarmac for 30 minutes, 60 minutes or 2 hours but 11 hours?? The CEO of Jet Blue should be tarred and feathered. There is no excuse. It was all about profits. Remember that American Airlines did something similar back in December. BTW, is this kidnapping?

    I remember a group addressing congress about passenger rights after the AA incident. Do you have any info on that? They were trying to make the airlines accountable for extended hours on the tarmac and lost luggage. I think they wanted reimbursement and compensation after 2 hours delays.

    I am was a passenger on JetBlue#351 on Valentine’s Day that was stuck on the tarmac at JFK for 11 hours.

    I don’t mean to spam your community, but I was hoping to get my voice heard with the people here.

    I started a blog called http://www.jetbluhostage.com and a myspace profile called myspace.com/jetbluehostage.

    I started the blog as a one-stop shop for all news related to this event, but now I’m almst exclusive posting people’s experiences and opinions.

    I don’t believe that we long-term hostages were compensated accordingly. And that’s the reason for all of my efforts.

    Thanks!
