then the airlines would be responsible for infrastructure. Interstate commerce is specifically a federal issue. By all means though, ignore the constitution. Everyone else does.
"Well aaah, folks, from the flight deck, we're aaaahhh, gonna be late because aahhh, it's cheaper to delay your complaining asses, than to refund your WiFi fees to the tune of $1200 so aahhh, so hope you all make your connections..."
STFU
135s will bend that rule all to hell. Apparently sitting in an FBO for 5 hours waiting for an ambulance to arrive is an acceptable operational delay when you're already planned to 14 hours.
Flight crew can refuse an assignment at any time due fatigue or other reason that makes them unfit to fly. 10 hours may or may not apply due to op specs, company policies, intl, domestic, etc.
Cap'n, why did you get into a heated debate with the gate agent? That's not only unprofessional, it's useless. Your argument was with OCC/OPS, not the gate agent who does not have operational control. If you can't tell, most gate agents have a severe case of superiority and think they run the airline. Best to avoid that can of complexes altogether.
