I also don't think US Air were doing him any kind of favour by putting him in a hotel. They cancelled his flight, stranded him without luggage and you can be sure if they could blame the weather or ATC they would not have been paying for a room. Therefore, we can only conclude that the payment of the hotel was their minimum obligation.
Btw, short of an emergency, I would not drink the water from taps in the DR either... believe me, if you went there, neither would you!

Been there. And to the other side of the island as well. I agree tap water would be a last resort but if I really felt I was about to collapse from dehydration I would probably, and reluctantly, have a drink form the tap.
Also, I have learned to carry a change of clothes in my carryon if I'm on an extended trip and pack a checked bag. You never know what circumstances you'll find yourself in. One time my seat-mate in first class got a bit tipsy on the free and bottomless wine and spilled a glass all over me. Thankfully my laptop was safely stowed! Thankfully I had that change of clothes and retrieved my bag from the overhead and changed in the lav. Problem solved.
