i would LOVE LOVE LOVE if this law were for the international carriers or even international destinations as well. Im ALWAYS stuck on air stinky india for 3 hours while they fix their airplanes in FRA. the only time it has happend to me was on USairways the other week, we had storms in ORD and we were #2 in line for take off (they then shut down all traffic going west due to the storms in the area), we hit the 3 hour mark turned around and went back to the gate, we had the option to get off or stay on, (i decided to stay on) 1 hour later we were clear to take off...well we got back in line and were #20 in line...the noises that came out of the other passengers "never fly this airline again" "this is crap".... this is the ONLY bad thing out of this 3 hour rule thing, we lost our spot for take off so of course we sat there for another hour or so due to that.
