I say that halfway jokingly. I know it would take quite a large structure to support something as large as a 747 or A340 at JFK, but could it work with lighter aircraft? I'm no engineer though, just trying to float some ideas around.

Passengers already have all the rights they need. They have the right to fly on a different carrier, take the train, ride Greyhound, or drive.
Speaking of Greyhound, do they provide food and water on three-hour trips? Didn't think so.

As a life-long New Yorker (not from the city, thank God) I can tell you they do it only because they can. And it gets their names in the papers and evening news for awhile. Then again, half of Hollywood does things for the same reason.

I can back up what Tristar said
Those of us from upstate are generally a lot less new york-centric. lots of people from downstate don't even consider us a part of "real" new york.
as for our lawmakers, they do stupid stuff just like lawmakers everywhere else, it just seems to get publicized more.
