Congressional action in cases like this is ridiculous. Why write legislation for such isolated incidents. B6 was between a rock and a hard place. With only one major hub, they simply got too many airplanes stuck in one place at one time. For a GOOD analysis of the incident I encourage everyone to read the weekly article posted at www.aviationplanning.com . Say what you like about the Boyd group, they pretty much nailed this event.

Legislation like the proposed Passenger Bill of Rights is a political expedient for a public that is ignorant about the consequences that this bill (bull) will engender.

Talk about a rule that has "Law of Unintended Consequences" written all over it.

Hey, B6 screwed up. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts it won't happen again. There are plenty of airlines out there who have made the same mistake. They just didn't make it in the world's largest media market.
