If it's only a $4 million fine, then we got off extremely lucky. I heard (unsubstantiated?) that we had at least 12 flights in Denver in violation of the tarmac delay program. With an average of nearly 180 passengers per airplane and a fine of up to $27,500 per/pax, the fine theoretically could be close to 60 million dollars.
It makes those eight gates we gave up to Delta on the west end of the A concourse look pretty cheap! Not to mention the pathetically inferior wage that is paid to the Denver ground worker that has little motivation to go above and beyond.
Will there be any accountability?
