I was stuck for 10 hours once. I really enjoyed it. SUmmer time, no air, no water, locked toilets.

I think my claustrophobia would evolve into panic attack after 1 hour. Then what?

This is great, but does not apply to international airlines, only US based ones.

Now if the Obama administration would take it a step further and enact a full Passenger Bill of Rights, maybe flying would become a little more enjoyable.

3 hours still seem like a long time, but I guess it's a start.

maybe if passengers mutiny after a couple hours they may get off the plane. If all passengers do it unanimously then the authorities would have little choice than to drop all the charges or the publicity could lose them a lot of business.

“We think we owe it to passengers to really look out for them.”

Gee, you think?
