The 3 hour “rule” is too long for passenger comfort and support. For the obvious reasons this time frame should be halved.
I don’t have a problem with baggage fees, except there should be a reasonable “baggage exception” (i.e. 1 bag per traveler) before fees are imposed
Most airlines have forgotten that the customer is there for their sake, not the other way around, hence service plans should be explicit and fair. Follow the golden rule, treat passenger the same way you, the airline, would like to treated.
If a flight contains a passenger or passengers, who present or forewarn the airline of this condition by providing a doctors certificate as to existence of severe allergic reaction to the presence of such foods then that passenger must be accommodated.
Foreign carriers must be made to abide by the same rules & regulations as a domestic airlines. There should NO EXCEPTION to this requirement.
As to the cost and benefit analysis projections prepared by DOT, it would seem to be the shorter the tarmac delay time, analogous to a ship idled in port, the likelihood of saving money would be greater with a shorter delay time to return to the gate. This would seem to make the greater economic sense. It should be self evident based upon “running” time cost in a queue compared to cost of delay (time in gate)to determine a break even point. While this approach might cause inconvenience to some passengers, it become a sum zero game when measured against waiting time on the tarmac, with all the fuss that that generates.
