ZVOKUBVA MUNYAYA INO:
- There was absolute assurance from the airports that they would help airline passengers during long on ground delays to a) always have a gate available b) make common use gates available, c) to keep airport vendors open 24/7 to ensure no one goes hungry or thirsty and to store emergency rations.
- “When I was on the DOT’s coveted Tarmac Delay Task Force the airports including the New York Port Authority made idle promises, saying they did not need to have a mandate and would ensure that another Jet Blue did not happen.
- They promised never again become a part of the tarmac delay problem so the DOT did not regulate them”…”Clearly their memories are short and those promises meant nothing in the face of this latest incident.
