The logistics involved are hard. Really really hard. These are not boxes that are stranded. They're people. And people move around, change their minds, make other plans, book themselves multiple times, etc.
- jfornear 17y agoRight, but by definition a "stranded passenger" is someone just waiting to get on a flight back to their home. If people make other plans, change their minds, move, book a Disney cruise back to the states, etc. they are no longer the "stranded passengers" airline companies are concerned with. At the very least, there are more people wanting to fly now than historical levels due to the volcano. That there are empty seats is very interesting (to me at least). ;)
- argv_empty 17y agoI think the issue is knowing which are the stranded passengers and which are no longer stranded.
