Delta had me closed up in a plane on February 14, from 12 PM to 6:30 PM and did not feed us until there was almost a revolt. They were not very pleasant to us either. Originally was to be an 8:45 AM Flight #207 to Santo Domingo, D. R. Why just blame JETBLUE?

It is the government's fault; its the airline's fault; its the airport or FAA's fault".... Do you all think someone got up that day and decided to mess up everyone's Valentine Day and leave them stranded? Get a grip folks.... you do not deserve reimbursement for an Act of God... duh.... always the almighty dollar will fix it or get a lawyer. Jet Blue would have made a lot more money if they could have flown everyone that day.... They are a great airline and have made a good name for themselves. If you want to whine.... get some cheese and get off of your computer complaining about everything. Its life and it sure beats the alternative. Yea for the Airline Industry and the safety of the passengers coming first before getting them into their comfort zones.... Lots of orthopaedic surgeons could have been busy if all of you had had to slip and fall in order to get something to eat or bathroom facilities.... let it go.

Recall that on 9/11/01 a group of brave citizens rushed the cockpit. Do you, the airlines, wish to have that happen again? Recent reports indicate that this reaction may be acceptable to the airlines. How many passengers are you willing to shoot before treating them as cattle?

THE OTHER AIRLINES HAVE THE SAME IN BAD WEATHER. ANYTHING OVER TWO HOURS IS A CRIME OF KIDNAPING AS FAR AS I AM CONCERN. IN BLUE JET'S CASE, THE PASSANGERS SHOULD HAVE UNITED AND DEMANDED TO BE TAKEN OFF THE PLANE. IT’S NOT JUST BLUE JET WITH THIS PROBLEM. THE OTHER AIRLINES HAVE THE SAME IN BAD WEATHER.

The government has nothing to do with it. His assertion that it doe suggests he is a democratic idealogue - that is if you can read through his drunken writing. Why did Jet Blue not inform the New York Port Authority? Jet Blue should be fined a simple $100,000.00 for every passenger who was left on a plane for over one and a half hours. Should it happen again they should be fined $200,000 per passenger - maybe they will learn how to pick up the phone and call for help. Their excuses and those of their defenders are outrageous Jet Blue is a miserable airline and it must be called to pay for its responsibility of massive mistreatment and abuse of children, the sick and elderly.

I was only 6 hours late, but slept in my own bed that night.

To have any one sit on an airplane for more then 1 hour is cruel and unusual ponnishment and the plane shouls be brought to the gate and the folks let out. I know i fro one would have lulled the emergency slide and got out on my opwn bullshit withe the fed regulations, We are sheep we should remember lets roll and do it . We as customers need to act and when the airline captain does not have the guts to pull the plane back to the gate any gate that is open then the passangers have the right to do what they have to to getoff that plane air marshal or not. The laws need to change to bring these airlines to heel congress should act now screw the airline lobbiest . It is abpit time that airline customers have a say on how they are treated.

Jet Blue shoulders the blame, but what about the asinine rules the FAA and Airport Authorites have in handling a situation like this. If an arriving plane can not get to its gate within 1 hour, the airport should have busses deplane the passenger or allow the plane into an an area where people can deplane and walk into the airport. Hell, in half the airports I've flown into you deplane out doors without a jet way. How long will it take the Einsteins at the FAA and the Airport Authorities to figure this out? And you want the government to handle health care?? NO WAY!! This is another fine example of how government agencies handle things.
