It of course won't be until and unless the American public demands it through Congress; and even then, as we've seen with other populist surges, it might not happen even then.

@:-)

Really? And presumably Congress would also prohibit the airlines from charging more after removing seats to increase space? If not...I suspect you are NOT speaking for the majority of travellers! They want 1. Cheap. 2. Cheap 3. Cheap. They would not thank you for extra seat pitch or width if it cost them more! (as it quite fairly should)

And ...with the fascinating winter weather you have over there.... what... force airlines to accommodate everybody overnight no matter what the reason for the delay? Yep... that wouldn't increase their costs at all......
