Toilets and food? Who needs 'em?

Seems like everyone complains about airline food and restrooms. Well, apparently the only thing worse than airline food and toilets is no food and overflowing toilets.

People tend to bond together in times of trauma and a group of American Airlines passengers has done just that following their experience trapped inside a jet for nearly nine hours in December.  The Coalition for Airline Passenger's Bill of Rights has been launched at strandedpassengers.blogspot.com

We have to say the group's mission is a bit wordy but we can't find anything to object to: "We are commited to solutions for promoting airline passenger policies that forward first and foremost the safety of all passengers while not imposing unrealistic economic burdens that adversely affect airline profitability or create exhorbitant ticket price increases".

We'll be watching to see how the bill of rights progresses. If you're interested in reading the proposed bill of rights, head on over to the stranded passengers' new site.
