US Airways told me that they could not be put into a hotel, due to the fact that "you need to be over 18 and have a credit card to put a
deposit on the room to get a hotel room" (seems US AIRWAYS should be the one doing this) then I was told by their 'escort' that regulations state they 'may not leave the airport as they are under 18 and US AIRWAYS is reliable'.
But my kids and another 17 yr old girl (on her way to NY-windsheild cracked on her plane as well) were all 3 in the office of US Airways overnight. They gave them 3 airline pillows and 3 blankets on a hard tile floor. none of them slept all night.
They said the "Wheel broke upon take off" never said it 'fell off', either way they did what they had to do by doing an emergency landing.
but what are the chances of all these flights having mechanical problems to the same kids? within 2 weeks? luckily they are still young enough and don't have the fears an adult would have with these problems. They were more annoyed with the hours and hours of waiting in the airports then anything.
I still feel the airline should compensate something more then "Flight certificates"
