Wonder if they'll have to pay a surcharge for room and board.

I have a great idea, lets put these people in charge of health care!

8 hours sitting down, with food, drinks, and a bathroom, nevermind they could've shown in-flight movies?

I thought the new laws mandated that 3 hours was tops they could hold you on a plane on the runway/

Just because laws exist doesn't mean they won't get broken.

8 hours is jacked up, I would have faked some chest pains or something LOL.

Yeah, 8 hours on a cramped, stuffy airplane. Fuck flying, its not even worth it anymore. From now on if I can't drive there, I'm not going. I spent close to 10 hrs in the old AA terminal at JFK during shitty weather once, and that place was a major shit-hole.

Only for domestic flights, and then only if you actually read the attached article.

Sure did, Mr. Post Police. Just commenting on how bad flying fuckings sucks, regardless. Stranded on the plane on the runway or in the cramped terminal, neither one seem to be too much fucking fun.

Did you bleed? Did anything break? If not, there probably wasn't anything wrong with you when you deplaned, and you need to suck it up. In the words of Louis C. K.: "It was so terrible? Really? I'm pretty sure you just flew hundreds of miles an hour, thousands of feet in the sky, to get thousands of miles away in a matter of hours. You used to need a wizard for that."
