I have a similar problem with errors on your website with MacOS Safari before it is published. Would you ask IT to test your site against modern browsers? Thx.
Once the plane has left the gate as long as it’s officially waiting for take-off, then it appears to me passengers should not be allowed to leave the gate. However, I remember times while traveling thru Denver, United would leave the gate, then taxi to the “penalty box” waiting for clearances and take off instructions. Airlines should not be allowed to leave the gate unless there is a expected takeoff time issued by FAA ATC Clearance Delivery and Ground Control. If the expected departure time issued by FAA ATC is over 3 hours then the aircraft should not be allowed to leave the gate. However, if an airline has left the gate, and the departure time is extended while waiting for take-off, where the total time is greater than three hours on the ground then the airport and airline should get buses out to the aircraft for any passengers that want to deplane.
As you can see there are mitigating circumstances affecting the airline and aircraft and there are a few organizations involved in the situation.. these organizations include the airport authority, the FAA ATC ground control and clearance delivery control, and airline pilots.
Stronger penalties and contingency plans are separate issues. Contingency plans are just that, they cover a broader array of situations that are likely to occur. Stronger penalties don’t appear to address all the issues. Contingency plans for a broader set of situations. Perhaps the corner cases might not be included but I think there are more situations that need to be worked through. Then again, maybe a blanket rule of three hours would be better since there could be no confusion… three hours is three hours regardless of the situation.
I think that the rules should apply to all carriers – domestic and international carriers included. I recommend reviewing the FAA flight regulations that a carrier flys under e.g. FAA FAR Part 135/136. etc. rather than the size of aircraft. Perhaps these rules should only apply to Part 121 and 125 carriers.
.. not all airlines allow the entire canceled value of the ticket to apply to a new ticket.. UNited allows you to “bank” the value of the ticket..there is a time limit of one year.. also, United charges a “change of ticket fee” of at least $150.

I agree.. the airlines should be required to post the entire cost of the ticket including fees and taxes.
