Last night, 100 Sun Country passengers sat on the tarmac in New York for six hours (St. Paul Pioneer Press). So did over one hundred Delta passengers (KARE Channel 11). Both planes were bound for Minnesota, site of the last airline delay debacle just two weeks ago. Storms in New York apparently complicated delays caused by runway construction in Minneapolis. U.S. Senator Chuck Schumer (D-NY) and New York State Assemblyman Michael Gianaris called for federal reform. Following the Valentine's Day fiasco at JFK several years ago, Gianaris had authored the nation's first airline passenger rights law, but the airlines sought and obtained a federal court order preempting the law.
