ok so this JUST happend to us. this is where i have a problem with this new law about getting passengers off. I worked a flight, we landed on time and everything. we were at an airport where you off load passengers onto a bus on the tarmac. anyway we were then told nobody could get off the plane. the airport had shut down all ground operations and nobody could be outside because of a VIP coming in. we sat on the plane for about 2.5-3 hours. now this was in no fault of the airline and they couldn't get us to a gate due to the airport closing down ramp operations. what is the airline to do in this case???
more times i have been stuck on an international carrier for 3+ hours and at international destinations over us carriers. i believe this should be a law for ALL carriers. not just US carriers
