What really upsets me about these situations is, like the article says, bad reporting. People are so quick to jump to conclusions over issues and don't look at the big pictures. "Oh, how could Jetblue be so lazy/irresponsible/corrupt/inept/lousy as to just trap people on the tarmac for 8 hours. Why didn't they just pull them back in the gate?" Hmmm.. do you think they would have thought about that? Reporters who have a degree in journalism and may me wizards with their powermacs and eloquent writing have no idea how an airline is run or what has to go on just to "pull the airplane back into the gate." They want the scoop and will, as the article says, "file the story first and research the facts later."
This Passenger Bill of Rights will not be good. In the end it will cost the flying public more. The airlines will have to up the fares to cover the costs of hiring more people, lawsuit protection, more gates, equipment, etc.
