Continental, ExpressJet Fined $100,000 For Tarmac Delay Incident
Seems like there needed to be two things...
1) A way for anybody to easily look up regulations for these sort of things.
2) Training on when to call the hotlines for help.
Apparently ExpressJet wanted to make the flight happen up until the crew would have worked past its limits. Obvious disregard for passenger comfort.
Mesaba's low-ranking peon didn't know the regulations and he didn't escalate the issue or find out more information from the various sources available.
I feel that the fines are just. I didn't read the breakdown on the ExpressJet/Continental fine, but the Mesaba fine is half a fine and half a "spend this much money on training" requirement. Hopefully this causes all parties involved to become more educated for the benefit of the passengers.
The only thing that seems really odd to me is why Mesaba was acting as an airline carrier when it did nothing that requires a certificate of being an airline carrier. Mesaba even said that it was doing functions other companies that are NOT airline carriers do. Surely the DOT can find that Mesaba was in violation of some other provision?
I hope the extra reimbursement for the passengers is good. :)

Also, good information on Sprint. There needs to be more legislation about correcting billing mistakes.

NewEgg Told Me My HDTV Isn't Broken Enough To Return
This is why I couldn't imagine buying a huge TV from an online retailer. I get scared anytime I buy a monitor.
NewEgg CSRs are always hard as iron, though. I'm surprised this one let the OP lie!
