Airlines propose long list of rules to kill or revise
&gt; Now, the Trump administration may roll back a rule that requires airlines to give passengers such as Hill the option of getting off a flight that is delayed too long on an airport tarmac. And that&#x27;s not the only regulation that might be weakened or scrapped.<p>With or without this rule, I could never quite grasp how it wasn&#x27;t tantamount to kidnapping? At least within a &quot;reasonableness test.&quot;<p>Obviously if you&#x27;re at 10K feet, and ask to get out, reasonably the airline cannot comply. But if you&#x27;re sitting on the tarmac of an airport, there&#x27;s no reasonable argument for why they cannot de-board people after a two or three hour delay. It fails the reasonableness test.<p>Before this rule was introduced airlines did this a lot. Several people literally set off the escape slides trying to get out, called 911, or got arrested for asserting their rights. Is that really something we want to return to?<p>I get that this administration is anti-regulation, but this was a hugely dehumanising situation before that isn&#x27;t legal in other countries for just that reason. I&#x27;d hope if they do remove it individual states step in to re-instate it immediately.
