Jet Blue 504 stranded on tarmac for over 7 hours

[NoMad]

Ok fine. 

sniff sniff.  Do you smell that?  I smell burning?  Do you?
Huh?  no [kick]  Yes, I smell it too.  Pop the slides!

WrongWayMike,

Don't let the behavior of one company let you characterize the nature of the American system as a whole. This is the greatest country in the world. And be mindful that JetBlue just violated a rule that they initially caused to be created in the first place. They won't be around much longer if they keep that up, and that is the beauty of the system in which we live. Passengers will not fly JetBlue if they fear an ordeal like that.

This must be one of the most arrogant and naive things I have ever heard.

LOL!  Then you don't get out much!  His post was right on the mark.  It was neither arrogant nor naive...In fact, your response was much closer to both of those things.
