Stuck on tarmac? Sucks to be you.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- A federal task force that spent nearly a year wrestling with ways to assist people delayed for hours aboard planes parked on tarmacs has finalized its recommendations — none of which requires airlines and airports to do anything.

[...]

"We were hoping at a bare minimum to come out of this task force with a definition of what is an extensive on-ground delay," Hanni said, but that didn't happened [sic] because the airline industry "doesn't want anything that is remotely enforceable."

(Emphasis mine)

That second quoted paragraph pretty much says it all, doesn't it...?
