The lack of protection for Passengers in the US is scandalous. People are routinely abandoned by airlines in a way that is utterly indefensible and which have only the most tenuous link to the weather. It is time to regulate and get rid of the "weather" excuse which airlines abuse daily. This has been done in Europe...fares didn't skyrocket, but the costs of meeting the basic needs of passengers is incorporated into the cost of the ticket.
