neo-781,
I agree that there is a certain threshold where the airline has to say enough is enough - even for a weather delay. I was actually on the plane for 6 hours (including flight time). I must confess, however, that I was in First Class, had a few Sam Adams, and was sleeping like a baby for a couple hours

. I guess if I was stuck in a middle seat in coach for 6 hours I would be singing an entirely different tune. It's a tough situation for both the airline and passenger and no one wins at the end.
Good luck.
