The Air Travelers Association, a consumer advocacy group, opposes the passengers’ bill of rights recently introduced in Congress, claiming it will lead airlines to cancel flights that could have gone out late, and will increase fares. The group’s main objection is that the bill in its present form essentially gives any single passenger the right to be deplaned after three hours on the ground. Do you agree that this particular piece of legislation is not in the best interests of travelers?

As usual, the legislation goes overboard in defining a cutoff of only three hours, and giving the controlling vote to any one passenger. I think this solution is too extreme and will create more problems than it solves.
