I just read that the U. S. Transporation Department adopted a new two-hour rule for domestic flights delayed at the gate or on the tarmac with captive passengers and nowhere to go.
When the delay reaches two hours passengers must be offered food, water and restroom facilities, the same amenties available to inmates in most federal penitentiaries.
If three hours pass and the plane still hasn't taken off, passengers must be allowed to leave the plane.
