Their statements says they were 'uncomfortable' temperatures.

Nah fuckers, those are DANGEROUS temperatures. This just wasn't an uncomfortable wait, this shit is serious

Of course this isn't an unpopular opinion but I absolutely loathe air travel. It's always a stain on any trip I take. I just got back from a trip where every connecting flight was missed by the fault of the airline. Who schedules for 1.5 hours to land, deboard, customs, security, and transit to another terminal at DFW? Why is the standard to do maintenance checks during boarding?

Now I'm not super familiar with how the systems work, but on most planes the AC doesn't seem to work until they can start the engines. Atleast that's been the case for almost every Boeing and other smaller regional jet makers. But with my most recent trip we were on A321s and those fuckers were frosty all the time. It was 102 outside and I was cold as fuck waiting for pushback.

I guess my point is, we need more laws on how long a reasonable wait is while boarded, and stricter regulations for high/low Temps.. which can be averted by whatever the fuck Airbus is doing on the vomit comet A321

I never fly delta, no matter how cheap the tickets are. I've never had a good experience with them.

I'm the total opposite. I pay up to double the fare sometimes to fly Delta.

Hopefully this bad press on this incident causes some policy changes at Delta on tarmac delays. That sounds miserable and dangerous.

Filthy and disgusting. Truly pathetic. Prosecute Delta's board of directors for murder and grievous bodily harm.

I agree for the bodily harm but the article doesn’t mention anyone dying…

You should really read the articles before letting your righteous fury out, cause when you dont it just makes you look like a total imbecile
