New Rules for the Airline Industry: 3 Hours Max on the Tarmac! http://onemansblog.com/2009/12/22/halleluja-new-rules-for-the-airline-industry-3-hours-max-on-the-tarmac/ Specialization is for Insects.

People are talking like having this time limit is so great, and yes of course it's better than what's out there now, but come on, 3 hours on a plane? That's rediculous. The only way I would feel happy about hearing this news is to know that they plan on further reducing the time limit by at least another hour or so. In China, where I am at the moment, at most it's 20 minutes. From the time the plane taxis themself out on the tarmac, and awaits the final clearance to take off, the most I had to wait is around 20 minutes. Naturally there is a lot more travel done by airplanes than here, but as with anything, once demand increases, so should all the other stuff. If it isn't, then it's clear to see what the result will be. The airline industry there really needs to wake up and stop looking like bums on the street asking for money and crying poor.

I have faced this frustration several times, and the worst of it is that they never just come clean and tell you that it's going to be x amount of time. They make it seem as if take-off is imminent, so the frustration mounts by the minute. Thank the Lord for some common sense.
